“Last month’s visit by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Egypt, on the heels of his trip to Washington, was the latest move in a rapidly warming relationship between the two countries. A few months before, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi had been the key guest at India’s 74th Republic Day celebrations in New Delhi — the first Egyptian head of state to be accorded that honor. Apart from “ensuring continuing momentum” in the relationship, according to an Indian foreign ministry spokesperson, both countries are keen to expand their bilateral economic engagement.
India, which currently hosts the G20, has already pledged to invite Egypt to the group’s next meeting in New Delhi. There are also whispers of Egypt possibly being a step closer to potential BRICS membership. While the deepening relationship is clearly important for both countries, it’s also a sign of a larger shift in geostrategic alliances. What does this new landscape mean for emerging economies and for the developing nations that have long taken the status quo for granted? The Middle East Institute (MEI) is pleased to invite you to join an expert panel to discuss this question and more.
