President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi of Egypt met India’s prime minister Narendra Modi on Sunday – the second stop of a two-day trip for the latter that focused on elevating ties between the two counties.
Egypt and India share deep ties that date back to the 1950s when the two nations played key roles in founding the Non-Aligned Movement, which had sought an alternative path to siding with either with communism or capitalism at the height of the Cold War.
