Suez Canal Region

Egypt's announcement to offer a dedicated slot for India within the Suez Canal Economic Zone (SCEZ) is set to figure high on the agenda during PM Narendra Modi's Egypt visit from June 24-25, which will be the first by an Indian PM since 1997.

Iranian warships entered the Mediterranean after crossing the Suez Canal on Saturday to show Tehran's "might" to regional states, the navy commander said, at a time of simmering tensions with Israel.
