Narendra Modi Receives Egypt’s Highest Civilian Honour

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi was recently in the United States for a state dinner with Joe Biden the President of the country. Immediately after his trip to the United States of America, Narendra Modi visited Egypt. 

On June 25, 2023, during his visit to Egypt, he was awarded the “Order of the Nile”. This is the highest civilian award in Egypt. The award was presented to him by the President of Egypt, Abdel Fattah El-Sisi. The award looks like a long necklace. It is made of pure gold and has symbols on it. 

This honour is given to any political leader for their services to Egypt or to the world. On the same day, India and Egypt signed a few agreements. These agreements will help India and Egypt to build a good relationship. 

PM Modi has received several such honours from different countries. This is the 13th highest state honour that was given to him. Some of the other awards bestowed on him include the Ebakl Award by the Republic of Palau and the Companion of the Order of Logohu.
