The presence of India in the Suez Canal Economic Zone (SCZONE) would enhance India’s footprints in the Mediterranean region that will act as a positive influence, said a prominent advocate of India-Israel economic ties. The remarks from Anat Bernstein-Reich, head of the India-Israel Chamber of Commerce came a day before Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to reach Cairo on a two-day visit.
“After the Haifa port, India’s presence in the Suez Canal Economic Zone will be a welcome development and help the Mediterranean region. This will allow India maintain a two-pronged approach to our region which can further strengthen India’s economic ties with Mediterranean and the West,” said Ms. Bernstein-Reich.
Prime Minister Modi is scheduled to land in Cairo on June 24 afternoon and will hold a round table with the Prime Minister of Egypt, Mostafa Madbouly. He will also interact with the Grand Mufti of Egypt and leading Egyptian intellectuals.
