Meanwhile, Lambrecht lauded growing ties between Egypt and Germany, asserting that Berlin is keen to cement such historical relations, as well as to foster military and security cooperation with Cairo.
The German minister also praised Egypt’s efforts to host over six million refugees who enjoy their basic rights similarly like Egyptians despite the additional burden this would place on any country.
