Tomorrow PM Modi will visit Egypt from US, will visit Al-Hakim Mosque

PM Modi Egypt Visit: PM Narendra Modi has gone on a state visit to America and Egypt. In the second leg of his two-nation tour, the PM will visit Cairo on a state visit to Egypt from June 24 to 25. This visit of PM Modi is very important in terms of relations between India and Egypt. The Prime Minister will visit the nearly 1,000-year-old Al-Hakim Mosque in the Egyptian capital Cairo on Saturday (June 24). Which is an important cultural site for the Dawoodi Bohra Muslims of India.

Prime Minister Modi has many years old and cordial relations with the Dawoodi Bohra community. According to the Egyptian government’s Ministry of Tourism, the mosque reopened after renovations that took six years to complete. The Dawoodi Bohra community has also helped in this work. PM Modi has often said that Dawoodi Bohra has helped him many times in Gujarat.

PM’s special relationship with Dawoodi Bohra community

As Chief Minister of Gujarat in 2011, Narendra Modi had invited the community to celebrate the 100th birthday of Syedna Burhanuddin, the then religious head of the Dawoodi Bohra community. After his death in 2014, PM Modi also went to Mumbai to express condolences to his son and successor Syedna Mufaddal Saifuddin. In 2015, PM Modi again met the current religious head of the community, Syedna Mufaddal Saifuddin. With whom he has always had cordial relations.

Will pay tribute to Indian soldiers

PM Modi will visit the Heliopolis Commonwealth War Grave Cemetery in Cairo, a sacred site that serves as a memorial to nearly 4,000 soldiers of the Indian Army who served and died in Egypt and Palestine during World War I. PM Modi will pay tribute to Indian soldiers here.

This journey is being seen as a game changer

Egyptian Ambassador Wael Mohamed Awad Hamed said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Egypt is being seen as a game changer for bilateral relations. In which both sides are expected to increase cooperation in areas ranging from security to trade and investment. Hameed told Hindustan Times that apart from co-production of military equipment, the two sides would discuss Egypt’s offer of a dedicated slot for India within the Suez Canal Economic Zone.

What did the Egyptian ambassador say?

He said that the last bilateral visit of an Indian Prime Minister to Egypt was in 1997. At that time, Egypt and India had a different leadership and the world was different. As an ambassador, it was disheartening for me to see that Egypt-India relations, which were traditionally very strong, did not continue with the same momentum they had in the 1950s and 1960s. Unfortunately, in the 1990s and the first two decades of this century, these relations did not progress much.

Egypt’s President was the chief guest on Republic Day

The Egyptian ambassador said that now the two countries are coming closer. In 2022, our President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi was invited by Prime Minister Modi to be the chief guest on the Republic Day of India. I see it as a game-changer. Prime Minister Modi and our President, both the leaders have the same priorities- modernization, industrialization, employment generation, development and environmental awareness of their countries. Egypt has also been invited as the guest country under the G20 presidency of India.

There can be a deal between India and Egypt in these areas

Giving information about the deals to be done during the PM’s visit, he said that there are four or five agreements on agriculture, small and medium-sized enterprises, information technology, trade and culture, which is a very important aspect of our relations. We are also working to prepare the Strategic Partnership Agreement and it is expected to be signed during the visit.
