India–Egypt Hold 11th Joint Defence Committee Meeting in Cairo, Deepen Strategic Cooperation

The 11th Joint Defence Committee (JDC) meeting between India and Egypt was held in Cairo from April 20 to 22, 2026, focusing on strengthening bilateral defence ties. The Indian delegation was led by Amitabh Prasad, Joint Secretary (International Cooperation), along with senior officials from the Ministry of Defence and the armed forces, while the Egyptian side was represented by senior defence officials.

Both sides reviewed progress since the previous meeting and outlined a roadmap for future engagement under a defence cooperation plan for 2026–27. Key focus areas include expanding structured military interactions, enhancing joint training, strengthening maritime security cooperation, increasing the scale and complexity of military exercises, and boosting collaboration in defence production and technology.

India highlighted the rapid growth of its defence manufacturing sector, noting production exceeding USD 20 billion and exports of around USD 4 billion to over 100 countries. Both nations agreed to work towards a dedicated defence industry cooperation plan, with co-development and co-production emerging as key areas of collaboration.

On the sidelines, the inaugural Navy-to-Navy Staff Talks were held, where the role of the Indian Navy in ensuring freedom of navigation in the Indian Ocean Region was highlighted, along with contributions of the Information Fusion Centre – Indian Ocean Region in maritime security.

The Indian delegation also met Amr Abdel Rahman Saqr, Commander of the Egyptian Air Force, acknowledging strong cooperation between the two air forces. Additionally, they paid tribute at the Heliopolis War Memorial to Indian soldiers who sacrificed their lives during World Wars I and II.

India–Egypt defence ties have strengthened significantly since the signing of a defence cooperation MoU in 2022 and their elevation to a Strategic Partnership in 2023. The latest JDC meeting reaffirmed both countries’ commitment to deepening defence collaboration and ensuring regional security and stability.
