Minister of State for Emigration and Egyptian Expatriates’ Affairs, Soha Gendi, on Monday, chaired a meeting with representatives of the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology to follow up on the underway design of an e-application dedicated to Egyptians abroad.
That meeting serves as a follow-up to a previous meeting with Minister of Communications and Information Technology Amr Talaat to probe cooperation in upgrading the technological infrastructure of the Emigration Ministry as well as activating its digitization process to ease contact with Egyptian ex-pats, minister Gendi said in a statement issued by the Ministry of Emigration.
The minister said the e-application would highlight all privileges, incentives, and services catering to the needs of Egyptians abroad, offered by different state bodies to promote bonds between the ex-pats and their homeland.
She added that the application may serve as a platform for promoting potential investment opportunities for Egyptian ex-pats in their homeland.
Meanwhile, the meeting tackled ways to encourage Egyptians abroad to utilize the state’s recently-adopted digital services to assist them with acquiring official documents through Egypt’s Digital Gate.
Minister Gendi pointed out the ongoing collaboration with bodies concerned to activate the electronic signature to grant Egyptian ex-pats access to services that require a signature.
