The HinduIndia and Egypt are likely to seal around half a dozen agreements during the visit of Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El Sisi who is slated to arrive in New Delhi on January 24 ahead of the Republic Day celebrations where he will be the chief guest. Earlier this month, Egypt’s Information Technology Minister Amr Talaat visited Bengaluru and New Delhi and held discussions with private companies like Wipro and government outfits regarding digital campaigns in Egypt. South Block, it was learnt, also took a positive view of Egypt’s attempts to play a balanced role at the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation where Pakistan has floated several resolutions on Kashmir and other internal Indian issues in the last few years but failed to receive robust support from Mr. El Sisi’s government. Indian private and public sector majors are reportedly eyeing Egypt’s infrastructure projects like the Suez Canal Economic Zone and the metro line in Alexandria.
