El-Sisi also conferred the Order of the Nile’ honour on Modi, the 13th highest state honour to be awarded to the Prime Minister.
“It is with great humility that I accept the ‘Order of the Nile.’ I thank the Government and people of Egypt for this honour.
It indicates the warmth and affection they have towards India and the people of our nation,” Modi said in a tweet.
Modi and El-Sisi also discussed further cooperation in G-20, highlighting the issues of food and energy insecurity, climate change and the need for the Global South to have a concerted voice.
