Prez Sisi’s visit: Defence, green energy in focus in India-Egypt cooperation

Hindustan Times  

Defence and green energy have emerged as key areas of cooperation between India and Egypt ahead of Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi’s visit to the country as the chief guest at the Republic Day celebrations. The visit has been preceded by growing contacts in different spheres though it is defence and green energy, especially green hydrogen, that have seen the greatest progress, people familiar with the matter said. During defence minister Rajnath Singh’s visit to Egypt last September, the two sides signed a memorandum of understanding to enhance bilateral defence cooperation. On November 15, the Egyptian government signed another framework agreement with India’s ReNew Power on the margins of COP27 in Sharm el-Shiekh to set up a green hydrogen plant in the Suez Canal Economic Zone with an investment of $8 billion.
