Ties between India and Egypt should be stronger, Tarun Basu writes in India’s The Economic Times. “With so much goodwill in Egypt for Indians one often wonders why the two countries are not closer partners and why friendship with Egypt is not talked about in India in the same vein as other countries with which New Delhi shares close political, economic and cultural ties,“ Basu writes. He adds that, by moving forward with the India on the Nile festival despite the recent terror attacks, India is demonstrating a major vote of confidence in the Egyptian government’s ability to deal with terrorism.
