PM Modi visit

PM Modi’s visit assumes significance as Egypt has traditionally been one of India’s most important trading partners in the African continent. According to the Egyptian Central Agency for Public Mobilization and Statistics (CAPMAS), the India-Egypt bilateral trade agreement is in force since March 1978 and is based on the Most Favored Nation clause.

India was Egypt’s fifth largest trading partner in the April 2022-December 2022 period. Furthermore, India and Egypt share a close political understanding based on a long history of contact and cooperation on bilateral, regional and global issues.
