Join the Wilson Center's Kennan Institute for a talk with Tarek Osman and Merissa Khurma on the relationship between Russia and Egypt and its future trajectory.

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 will join the Kennan Institute for a conversation on the state of Egypt-Russia relations and their future trajectory.

RSVP is requested; information can be found at this link.

Speakers:

Tarek Osman, author and broadcaster

Merissa Khurma, program manager, Middle East Program, Wilson Center

Matthew Rojansky, director, Kennan Institute
