Former Diplomat Prabhu Dayal who has served in multiple Arab countries including Egypt told NDTV that the Prime Minister's 2-day visit to the US could prove to be a gamechanger in the geopolitics of the Middle East. He added that Egypt is crucial for India as a gateway to major markets in Europe and Africa. India's growing bilateral relations with Egypt, one of the most important Arab countries, is a strong message amid the growing Chinese influence in the middle-eastern country.
