Russia is willing to take part in establishing an industrial zone in the New Suez Canal project. In 2014, Russian president Vladimir Putin and Egypt’s Abdel Fattah al-Sisi agreed to create a Russian industrial zone in Egypt as part of the implementation of the New Suez Canal mega project.

In 2015 Egypt inaugurated the New Suez Canal, a 37-kilometer waterway dropping to a depth of 24 meters and running parallel with the existing 145-year-old Suez Canal.

The project attracted $8.5 billion in six days and is expected to produce $12.3 billion in revenues each year by 2023, which will more than double the canal’s current revenue intake. The vessel traffic is also expected to increase by about 50 percent, which will take the daily transit volume to 97 from 49.

Egypt announced the modernization of the Suez Canal originally, it was planned to complete the work in three years, but later was reduced to 12 months. The new Suez Canal planned to include a huge range of services, as well as several industrial parks, including Russian, Chinese and Italian.
