Russian President Vladimir Putin will travel to Egypt on Feb. 9-10 to discuss bilateral ties as well as regional issues in the Middle East, the Kremlin said on Wednesday.

Egypt, the world’s top wheat importer and the second- largest buyer of Russian wheat, has been hit by Russia’s decision to curb grain exports as Moscow seeks to cool domestic prices amid an economic crisis.

Russia, the world’s second-largest arms exporter, is also seeking to boost military ties with Egypt.

The Kremlin said in a statement that Putin and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi would discuss the situation in Iraq, Syria and Libya as well as the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

    I thought they were stealing the wheat from Ukraine. Should have lots there. I wonder if the Egyptian Itinerant Workers are still going to harvest Jordan’s Wheat … or is that going to the refugees?
    Too bad Canada can’t get theirs to the coast to ship it … but wheat just makes us all fat around the middle anyway. Give the Aussies a better price for their Rice than the Chinese do. :-)))
