India and Egypt on Tuesday discussed opportunities to expand cooperation in key areas such as trade and reaffirmed that bilateral relations were “very strong” and wide in scope having great potential for expansion.

“Last year, India and Egypt had concluded a G to G (government to government) agreement for supply of rice to Egypt at a friendship price,” India’s Ambassador to Egypt Sanjay Bhattacharyya said.

Bhattacharyya met the Egyptian Minister for Supply and Internal Trade Supply Ali El Moselhy to discuss opportunities for expansion of bilateral cooperation.
