Egypt’s President Mohamed Morsy arrives in India

First democratically elected president of Egypt, Mohamed Morsy arrives in India on Monday to extend special relationship with India.

Ahead of his India visit Morsy told ‘The Hindu’, “I am looking forward to a unique, strong, institutional and mutually beneficial relationship with India. For Indians, we can be a hub for North Africa and Africa as well.”

He said he will pitch for Egypt’s inclusion to BRICS (Brazil-Russia-India-China-South Africa) and make it to ‘E-BRICS’.

“I am hoping BRICS would one day become E-BRICS where E stands for Egypt. I hope E-BRICS would emerge when we start moving the economy. Support countries to achieve high growth rates and supplement the role of the IMF, World Bank and similar institutions.”

“We cannot have a single pole dominating the world. NAM can be very effective in this regard, and I am going to test this with the leaders of India,” he added.
