Prime Minister Narendra Modi embarked on a significant two-day state visit to Cairo, responding to the invitation extended by Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi. Upon his arrival, Modi received a warm welcome from Egypt's Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly, who embraced him at the airport. Marking a milestone, this visit marks the first bilateral trip by an Indian Prime Minister to Egypt in 26 years.

During his stay, Modi is scheduled to hold talks with President El-Sisi on Sunday. The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) highlighted that, in addition to these discussions, the Prime Minister is expected to engage with prominent Egyptian personalities, senior dignitaries from the Egyptian government, and the Indian community residing in Egypt.

Emphasizing the historical trade and economic ties, as well as the deep-rooted cultural and people-to-people connections, the MEA underlined the solid foundation of relations between India and Egypt.
