Cairo - Following the conclusion of the State visit to the United States, Prime Minister Narendra Modi proceeded to his next scheduled visit to Egypt, marking the first bilateral visit by an Indian Prime Minister since 1997. Egypt President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi extended an invitation to Modi, and they are set to hold talks on Sunday, focusing on enhancing the strategic partnership between the two nations.

During his visit to Egypt, the prime minister will make a visit to the Heliopolis War Memorial, a commemorative site established by the Commonwealth. This memorial serves as a tribute to 3,799 Indian soldiers who valiantly gave their lives in various battles fought in Egypt during World War I.

Furthermore, PM Modi will also tour the Al-Hakim mosque, a historic mosque dating back to the 11th century, which has been restored with the assistance of the Dawoodi Bohra community. Additionally, Modi will have the opportunity to meet and engage with members of the Indian community residing in Egypt during his visit.
