BERLIN – While in Berlin, President Abdel Fattah El Sisi invited journalists in Germany who are interested in the human rights file to visit Egypt to get acquainted with the human rights conditions in the country on the ground and let German media outlets and the German public know more about this important issue.
“Allow me to invite you and anyone who is concerned to visit Egypt. The opportunity will be available for all of those who accept the invitation to meet all stakeholders and speak with them to convey an authentic picture about us to the German mass media,” said president Sisi in response to a question by a reporter about the human rights conditions in Egypt during a joint press conference with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz in the German capital Berlin Monday.
“The human rights record in the country speaks for itself,” he said.
“Come and see on the ground how freedom of religion, women rights, personal freedom and freedom of expression are being protected.”
“Attend current national dialogue sessions in Egypt and convey realities to the public opinion in Germany about whether Egypt is actually very keen on freedoms or not,” president Sisi continued.
The Egyptian leader asserted that serving human rights “is our historical and humanitarian responsibility toward our nation”.
