Russian Parliament Speaker Sergei Naryshkin said that security concerns were still preventing Russia from recommending Egypt as a suitable tourist destination. Russia suspended flights to Egypt after a Russian passenger aircraft crashed over the Sinai Peninsula on October 31. Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed with the recommendations of the National Anti-Terrorism Committee to suspend all flights to Egypt, prompting all Russian air companies to halt flights to the Nothern African nation. According to Sergei Naryshkin, however, Russia is willing to return relations with Egypt to normal if its security concerns are addressed.
