The Egyptian Ministry of State for Immigration and Egyptian Expatriates’ Affairs, Soha Gendi, recently welcomed Noria Sanz, the Regional Director of UNESCO’s office in Cairo and the Arab States, to explore new horizons of collaboration between the two entities.
The meeting witnessed the presence of Saber Suleiman, Assistant Minister for Institutional Development and overseer of the Minister’s office, and Salma Saqr, Assistant Minister for International Cooperation.
Minister of Immigration Soha Gendi emphasized the significance of merging cultural perspectives while addressing issues related to migration. She stated that the Ministry has initiated several programs to preserve and promote the national identity among Egyptian expatriates.
“With approximately 14 million Egyptians living abroad, integrated into diverse communities, it’s imperative to cater to various age groups and their distinct needs,” said Gendi. These initiatives work to reinforce the connection between overseas Egyptians and their homeland, both in identity and culture.
