Over the past 70 years, the relationship between Egypt and Russia has been shaped by shared interests and feelings of solidarity, as well as by perceived abandonment and mutual suspicion. How does the past affect today's ties, in light of Russia's growing role in the region? Do Egypt and Russia’s objectives in the Middle East dovetail or diverge and does the relationship have a broader regional effect? On October 28, Egyptian author Tarek Osman joined us for a conversation on the state of Egypt-Russia relations and their future trajectory.
This event was co-sponsored with the Middle East Program.
Speakers:
Tarek Osman - Author and Broadcaster
Merissa Khurma - Program Manager, Middle East Program
