PM Modi meets Egyptian counterpart Mostafa Madbouly, discusses trade, investment, renewable energy

<p>Egypt has said India is providing it with a credit line of unspecified value, in the latest moment of bilateral support from New Delhi for Cairo's difficult economic landscape.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>India-Egypt ties: What this Credit Line will be used for?</strong></h2>

<p>Credit lines are typically used to import key commodities, mostly edible items and related raw materials. India has provided similar credit lines to rescue the troubled economy of its southern neighbour Sri Lanka.&nbsp;</p>

<p>For Egypt, the Indian move could ease pressures on the economy, amid signs of progress in Egypt’s plan to sell state assets and expectations that the authorities will hold off a devaluation of the currency until at least September.</p>

<p>Egypt’s dual identity as an Afro-Arab nation makes Cairo an indispensable ally of India in West Asia, Africa, the Mediterranean Sea, and the Red Sea, according to Mohammed Soliman, a strategist who conceptualised the "Indo-Abrahamic" framework, WION’s Heena Sharma <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/egypt-remains-indias-indispensable-afro-arab-ally-556082">reported</a> on January 26, 2023.</p>
