Sunday’s discussions included trade and investment, renewable energy, information technology and pharmaceuticals.
The leaders also signed an agreement to elevate bilateral relations between India and Egypt to the level of a “strategic partnership”.
An official statement highlighted that Prime Minister Modi and President Sisi have explored further collaboration within the G20, focusing on issues such as food and energy insecurity, climate change, and the need for a united voice from the global south.
The talks also dealt with defense and security relations.
In Cairo, Modi also visited the 11th-century Al-Hakim Mosque, which has undergone a renovation by Bohra Muslims, an offshoot of Shiite Islam with a large presence in Gujarat, home to the prime minister.
Prior to his visit to Cairo, Modi embarked on a four-day state visit to the United States.
During this trip, he received a formal welcome to the White House.
