Pakistan on Saturday said it has come to the conclusion that the proposed National Security Advisor (NSA) level talks between Islamabad and New Delhi would not serve any goal if conducted on the basis of the two conditions laid down by India’s External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj.

Since the 1980s, there have been four Prime Ministerial visits from India to Egypt: Rajiv Gandhi (1985); P. V. Narasimha Rao (1995); I. K. Gujral (1997); and Dr. Manmohan Singh (2009).

Swaraj said the Gulf and the North Africa were crucial for India’s energy security and complimented the diaspora community for their contribution in ensuring stronger ties between countries in the region and India. “We have been proactively engaging with all the stakeholders to address the concerns of our overseas community”, she said.

The Ambassador also added that there are many opportunities for India and Egypt particularly in the economic engagement.

During her visit, she will call on Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah Al Sisi, hold bilateral talks with her counterpart Sameh Shoukry and meet Nabil El Araby, the Secretary General of the League of Arab States, besides other leaders.
