The latest international political and economical developments reported to you by our correspondent from Moscow, Roland Betzhamov


In This report, we will hear about the deal between Russia and Egypt to manufacture 40 Million doses of Covid -19 vaccine, Spotnik-V, developed by Russia. 

Also there is an agreement between the two countries to open travel to Egypt to Russian tourists and Holiday makers and specially at Sharm El Sheikh sanctuary on the Red Sea.

Egypt tourism sector has suffered after a Russian passenger plane that was brought down by a bomb in Egypt's Sinai peninsula on 31 October 2015, killing all 224 people on board, resulted in the Russian authorities to ban travel to Egypt for Russians. 

Now, the Russian tourists will start coming back to Sharm El Sheikh as many rich Russians rich have bought properties at the Red Sea resort, including few rich Assyrians from Moscow, who travel there once or twice a year.
