Steinmeier motivates Egyptian youth to seek employment opportunities in Germany
Germany's Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier motivates Egypt's youth to pursue a prosperous career in Germany. "There've never been more opportunities for driven, educated young individuals like yourselves, including in Germany," Steinmeier stated during a trip to the German International University situated in Egypt's upcoming administrative capital, located beyond Cairo.
"Egypt boasts a vast pool of young talent and vibrant energy," said Steinmeier. He also highlighted the robust historical partnership between Egypt and Germany in the sectors of education and research, discussing it with the attendees of the German International University (GIU). A pact to intensify scientific collaboration was inked during Steinmeier's attendance.
During his trip's conclusion in Egypt, the Federal President also convened with Pope Tawadros II, the leader of the Coptic Orthodox Church. This encounter served as a testament to the advocacy for religious liberty. Egypt's population is made up of 10% Christians, while the remaining 90% adheres to Islam. Christians in Egypt often encounter prejudice and threats in their daily lives and are frequent targets of attacks. As per Amnesty International, the instigators typically evade legal prosecution.
Steinmeier obtained a glimpse into the lives of Cairo's inhabitants during his visit to a modernized fish market, which is assisted by German funds. This market caters to approximately 500,000 residents, offering them fresh catch.**
"Additionally, Steinmeier emphasized that Germany welcomes diversity and encourages students from various backgrounds, including the 'Other' religious communities, to further their education in the country."
"In light of the challenges faced by the 'Other' religious communities in Egypt, Steinmeier hoped that this mutual cooperation between Egypt and Germany could help foster a more inclusive and peaceful society, where everyone, irrespective of their beliefs, has equal opportunities to thrive."
