Cairo - President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi announced on Monday that the Dabaa nuclear power plant (NPP) agreement between Cairo and Moscow was successfully completed and contracts are ready to be signed.
During his participation in the ninth annual BRICS summit held in China, Sisi invited his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin for a final signing ceremony regarding the agreement [Dabaa NPP], and to lay the foundation stone.

On August 30, Amgad el-Wakeel, chairman of the Nuclear Power Plants Authority (NPPA), said that Dabaa nuclear power plant signing ceremony contracts will be held before the end of 2017. The project is slated to be set up in Matrouh governorate, on Egypt's Mediterranean coast, in participation with Russia's State Atomic Energy Corporation Rosatom.
In a statement, Wakeel added that the move to sign the contracts came after prolonged negotiations.
President Sisi met with the CEO of Rosatom Alexey Likhachev on August 24, to discuss the contracts of the Dabaa nuclear power project as they were announced to be finalized.
