Similarly, the minister expressed desire to expand cooperation in the sectors of development, energy, renewable energy, green hydrogen, education, vocational training, and movement of qualified labor. He also said he looked forward to Germany's support to Egyptian interests at the European Union (EU) - in alignment with the agreement signed earlier this year to raise EU-Egypt ties to the strategic level – and to the financial bundle allocated to the country.  

 

In that context, the meeting tackled the efforts deployed by Egypt to combat illegal migration to Europe. On the other hand, he asserted the importance of reinforcing the pathways of legal migration for qualified Egyptian labor to Germany.

 

The two sides also discussed cooperation on developmental projects in Africa. Hence, Minister Abdel Aty presented the initiatives executed by the Egyptian Agency of Partnership for Development, and Cairo International Center for Conflict Resolution, Peacekeeping, and Peacebuilding (CCCPA).
