Russia is interested in supplying arms to Egypt, a senior representative of Rosoboronexport informed RIA Novosti on Friday commenting on media reports that issues of weapons supplies to Cairo to the amount of more than $ 4 billion will be discussed next week during the visit of Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu to Egypt. "The traditional relations, which developed from relations between the USSR and Egypt into Russia-Egypt relations in the field of weapons supplies, remain intact. We are ready to hold negotiations with the Egyptian side on the possibility of both supplying new military equipment and repairing the equipment delivered during the Soviet times", - the agency’s interlocutor said.
