The information that Egypt has refused to purchase Russian wheat is not true. This was stated by the first assistant to the country’s supply minister Ibrahim Ashmavi.
“The message is completely untrue. Our relationship with Russia is strategic and our commercial relations with it are developing smoothly,” conveys the words Ashmavi TV channel RT Arabic. By this, he emphasized that Egypt did not refuse to purchase Russian wheat.
Previously Egypt planned to buy about half a million tons of grain from France and Bulgaria. The country’s authorities were not satisfied with the price that Moscow wanted to set.
