Chairwoman of the Russian Federal Council Valentina Matviyenko said Saturday that Egyptian authorities implemented about 90 percent of measures meant to resume Russian flights to the Arab country. 

Matviyenko, in a joint press conference with Speaker of the Egyptian House of Representatives Aly Abdel Aal, could say it with satisfaction that security apparatuses in Egypt and Russia had made decisions and that necessary measures had been taken for flights to resume.

Only four points still need to be implemented for a road map to resume the flights to be completed, she noted. 
Matviyenko said continued cooperation and communication between the Egyptian and Russian presidents is very important to push forward bilateral relations.

Cooperation between the Egyptian and Russian parliaments will sure contribute a great deal to boosting relations in all fields, particularly trade and economy, Matviyenko added.

She told reporters her meeting with Abdel Aal earlier today took efforts to enhance those ties. 

Matviyenko said they also agreed to cooperate in international issues, particularly where fighting terrorism is concerned.
