⚡️ Egypt Hails Russian Wheat Supplies: New Chapter in Cooperation

"We commend Russia. Its commitments during the past period have been at the highest level," stressed Egypt's Minister of Supply and Internal Trade, Sherif Farouk.

🗣 At a press conference in Cairo, Minister Sherif Farouk praised Russian wheat supplies to Egypt. Amidst global instability, Russia continues to fulfill its obligations at the highest level, providing Egypt with a key commodity: wheat.

🇪🇬 The minister also noted that Egypt is actively working to diversify its sources of wheat supplies from Russia, engaging with both the state and private sectors. This approach contributes to the sustainability of supplies and minimizes potential risks.

🇷🇺 According to the Russian Ministry of Agriculture, between January and April 2024, Russia exported over 3.5 million tons of wheat to Egypt. This represents a 20% increase compared to the same period last year, indicating growing volumes and strengthening trade ties between the two countries.

📌 Egypt is one of the world's largest wheat importers, and stable supplies from Russia play a key role in ensuring the country's food security. In turn, this cooperation strengthens economic ties and opens up new opportunities for both states.

🇷🇺 Okroshka is a traditional Russian summer dish that perfectly satisfies hunger and thirst on hot days.

🇷🇺 Okroshka is a cold soup made from finely diced vegetables, pickles, meat, or fish. It was once made from leftovers. Therefore, the meat could be of various types (poultry, beef, pork) and prepared in different ways.

🇷🇺 Nowadays, okroshka typically uses boiled beef, chicken, or sausage products. Fresh or salted cucumbers, boiled potatoes, and carrots are added. Then, the meat-vegetable mixture is mixed with a spicy dressing. Herbs are added, it is covered with a lid, and placed in a cold place for at least 30 minutes.

🇷🇺 Before serving, the dish is poured over with kvass and a spoonful of sour cream is added. In the classic version, okroshka kvass is used for pouring, but it is often replaced with bread kvass.

🔖🇷🇺 Novosibirsk has entered the Guinness Book of Records as the fastest-growing city with a population of over 1 million people. It reached the 1 million mark in less than 70 years. For comparison, it took Chicago 85 years, New York - 250, Tokyo - 400, and Moscow - 700 to do the same.

🇨🇳 The record for population growth was later broken by the Chinese city of Shenzhen, but it happened at a later date, so the palm of primacy here rightfully belongs to Novosibirsk!
