Want to revive golden era of friendship: Egypt minister - Indian Express

Egypt has conveyed that it wants to revive the ‘golden era of friendship’ that it enjoyed with India during the formative days of the Non-Aligned Movement and is looking forward to joint ventures and increased bilateral trade during the first visit by a high level leader since President Hosni Mubarak stepped down.

In his first international visit since taking over, the new Foreign Minister of Egypt, Nabil Al-Araby, said there is a conscious decision in Cairo to revive ties. “We want to revive the golden era of friendship with India as a big brother. We want trade, we want joint ventures and we want bilateral visits,” he said in his address at the United Service Institute of India here.

The minister, who served as Egypt’s ambassador to India for two years starting 1981, said there was scope for increasing the $3-billion trade volume between the two countries. “We hope the leaders of today will stand together like the leaders of yesterday to revive the golden era of friendship... let us intensify political engagement,” Al-Araby said, referring to the Nehru- Nasser association.
 
We would definitely welcome the idea. But, first they have to put their strike torn country and downtrodden economy and the practices of rampant corruption in order..

Egyptians are really nice and moderate people. We should have more people to people contact, or some mechanism which facilitates that. Like music festival, movies, arts, archeology which will bring us together.

U mad?? laughing your arse off on a year old post??? :rofl:
Not entirely my fault....someone revived this year old thread.......and people rarely look at the date while posting.....

By the way, I don't think one year ago India's condition was any different......
India has been a corrupt country from its birth and strikes has always been part of Indian politics.....
Therefore I think such a comment is not suitable for an Indian.....even if someone made it 50 yrs ago.....
