MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Negotiations on the creation of a free trade zone between Egypt and the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) are at the final stage, Russian Trade Representative to Egypt Alexey Tevanyan told Sputnik.
On Saturday, the director of the Department of Economic Cooperation at the Russian Foreign Ministry, Dmitry Birichevsky, told Sputnik that a draft free trade agreement between the EAEU and Egypt was almost completed.
"The signing of a free trade agreement between Egypt and the EAEU will facilitate the access of our goods to the Egyptian market. Negotiations on the free trade zone are at the final stage," Tevanyan said.
Russian engineering products are respected in Egypt because of their price-quality ratio advantage, Tevanyan added.
