CAIRO – Minister of State for Emigration and Egyptian Expatriates’ Affairs Soha Gendy stressed the importance of regularly updating Egyptian youth living abroad on the State’s achievements and development efforts.
Gendy made the remarks in a discussion session organized on the sidelines of her visit to the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), accompanied by 50 young Egyptian students and researchers, who are members of the Ministry of Emigration’s Dialogue Center for Egyptian Students Abroad (MEDCE).
The minister commended the MEDCE’s efforts in supporting Egyptian students abroad during crises, citing the Turkish earthquake, the Russian-Ukrainian war and the conflict in Sudan.
She stated this is the first meeting to be held in person with young members of the MEDCE, following the development of a new work strategy for the center and the establishment of new mechanisms to communicate with them, especially as the meetings in the past period were held via video conference.
Gendy explained the MEDCE serves as a window to the world, as it comprises members who enjoy skills and scientific and professional excellence.
She underlined the significance of having a “Think Tank” to make the best use of youth ideas and proposals in the national development process.
On their part, the young Egyptians expressed their readiness to harness their knowledge in digital transformation and medicine for serving the homeland.
They expressed willingness to make introductory lectures for new learners abroad on how to overcome various problems and challenges they face, including the culture of the host country and the educational system in each country.
