Russian President Vladimir Putin has sat down for talks with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi in Moscow.
The two have touched on a number of issues, including terrorism and economics.
Putin says he'd like to see Egypt become more entrenched with Russia.
"Among concrete steps to give additional stimulus to the economy is a possible creation of a free trade zone between Egypt and the Eurasian Economic Union."
The Eurasian Economic Union includes countries which used to be part of the Soviet Union or a client state.
As part of the meeting, Putin has also announced Russia's participation in the construction of a nuclear power plant in Egypt.
The two have also discussed the situation in the Middle East, and in particular, the situation in Syria.
Al-Sisi's time in Moscow is a return visit after Putin, earlier this year, became the first leader of a major world power to visit Egypt since al-Sisi became president in 2014.
