Joint Egyptian-Italian Migration Centre to be Established in Cairo

In an effort to combat illegal migration, Egypt and Italy are joining forces to establish a center for jobs and migration in Cairo. Given that irregular migration primarily affects nearby Mediterranean countries like Italy and Greece, the center's objective is to promote safe migration and provide employment training for Egyptian youth.

According to Minister of Emigration and Expatriates' Affairs Ambassador Soha Gendy, the main aim of the center is sustainable development in the labor market for both nations. By offering quality vocational training to Egyptians, the initiative addresses migration challenges and opens up employment avenues in Italy through strategic partnerships between the two countries.

Similar to the recently inaugurated Egyptian-German Centre for Jobs, Migration, and Reintegration (EGC), the center is expected to provide job opportunities for willing Egyptians.
