Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Egypt and met with President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, pledging to deepen their strategic partnership. They agreed to boost investment by India in Egypt, particularly in renewable energy, as Egypt faces an economic downturn and currency crisis. The two leaders signed a joint declaration to elevate relations to a strategic partnership and pledged to increase high-level visits and facilitate direct flights between the capitals. India is already Egypt's seventh-largest trading partner, with trade reaching $7 billion last year. Modi invited Sisi to a G20 summit India is hosting in September.
