Had a great conversation with Egypt's Minister of Industry, Mr. Khaled Hasham Ali Maher, on strengthening India-Egypt industrial ties. Indian businesses in Egypt are contributing to investment, jobs, exports, and innovation, and we discussed how to support their further growth. Egypt's location makes it a gateway to Africa, Europe, and the Arab world, and a natural partner for joint manufacturing, technology tie-ups, and resilient supply chains. We also explored how their industrial policy can complement Make in India, and how to strengthen MSMEs through joint training in automation and advanced manufacturing, and technology sharing. Excited about the future of this partnership! 🇮🇳🇪🇬
