Egyptian Foreign Minister Cancels Last-Minute Visit to India
NEW DELHI: In a surprising turn of events, Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty cancelled his planned visit to India just hours before his scheduled arrival on Thursday morning. This visit had been previously announced by the Indian Ministry of External Affairs.
Despite the cancellation, Minister Abdelatty did engage in a phone conversation with his Indian counterpart, S. Jaishankar. During their discussion, he reaffirmed the Egyptian leadership’s commitment to strengthening bilateral ties with India. He also highlighted the robust cooperation in key sectors such as pharmaceuticals, information technology, and renewable energy.
No Official Reason Provided
Neither side has provided an official reason for the abrupt cancellation. However, reports suggest that the decision may be linked to President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi’s engagements. There are indications that President Sisi may be preparing for a visit to the United States next week to discuss crucial matters, including the release of hostages from Gaza, with President Donald Trump.
As diplomatic relations continue to evolve, both countries remain committed to enhancing their partnerships. The cancellation of this visit may be a setback, but the dialogue between the two nations demonstrates a mutual interest in collaboration.
