The Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Egypt marks an important milestone as not only is it his first trip to Egypt but also the first official bilateral visit by any Indian Prime Minister to the country since 1997 and also marks 75 years of diplomatic relations between Egypt & India.

An agreement to elevate the bilateral relationship to a "Strategic Partnership" was signed between PM Modi and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi . Three MoUs in the fields of Agriculture, Archaeology & Antiquities and Competition Law were also signed.

PM Modi is on a two day visit to Egypt. This is the first bilateral visit by an Indian Prime Minister to Egypt in 26 years.
