With Egypt, we have the best partner: India’s Amb. To Egypt

CAIRO – 1 February 2018: Between Aptech’s motto, “unleash your potential”, and Taaleem’s goal of developing the youth, the new cooperation between the two organisations promises the youths a better future.

During the inauguration of Egypt’s first Aptech training course, the Indian Ambassador to Egypt, his Excellency Mr. Sanjav Vhatacharyya, spoke about the wonderful cooperation between Egypt and India.

“We hope that this association [between Aptech and Taalem] will grow and with it, the cooperation between the two countries will grow,” stated his Excellency in comments to Egypt Today after his speech.

During his speech, the Ambassador expressed his happiness regarding the growing cooperation between Egypt and India, he suggested that with India’s experience in the field and Egypt’s potential, nothing can stop the two.

“We have been at the forefront for creating, using, and manipulating technology for the social good. This has brought a wave of innovation in India and a spirit of enterprise.” This same innovation and spirit of enterprise, he expressed, exist in Egypt and have the potential to reach a more incredible level through India sharing its experience with Egypt.

When asked by Egypt Today what he feels India would like to cooperate with Egypt on, the Ambassador replied, “India is ready to cooperate with Egypt on anything and everything. We are, of course, a leading force in technology. We offer good technological solutions but we will work with Egypt in whatever they want. Still, IT, and the broad area of technology, is something that India and Egypt need to cooperate in. Both countries have many youths and youths are eager to learn. By helping each other out, the two countries, which are big in their region, and influential too, can grow even quicker.”

His Excellency added, “We are very strong and Egypt is a big power. When India thinks of Egypt, we think that it will grow exponentially during the next period. We not only think of Egypt economically and as having great potential, we also think of Egypt as a leader in the region.”

“Through this cooperation, we expect that Egypt will be the hub of technology in the region.”

Speaking to Egypt Today about on-going cooperation in education, the Ambassador gave the examples of Al-Azhar University. He also spoke about the e-learning courses they do in the Medical School of Alexandria and three other programs in the University of Alexandria in the social sciences and management department.

“With us, you have the best partner, and with you, we have the best partner,” his Excellency spoke proudly.

This partnership, as his Excellency pointed out during his speech, is vital due to what he labelled as a “transformative age” that we live in. “It is very important for all to b empowered with knowledge. The association between the two partied [Aptech and Taaleem] will provide the youths with the knowledge and abilities to go out and compete for top jobs and do good for your country.”

“Egypt and India are great in our areas and we have continues to succeed in different areas, so it is only normal for us to want to improve more and more.”
