The Egyptian-African Businessmen Association participated in the graduation ceremony of a cohort comprising 170 students from French-speaking countries at Sangor University in Alexandria. The event was attended by Dr. Mohamed Ayman Ashour, the Minister of Higher Education, Major General Mohamed El-Sherif, the Governor of Alexandria, Dr. Hani Helal, the President of the University’s Board of Trustees, and Dr. Abdelaziz Qansoua, the President of Alexandria University, along with representatives of the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Notably, the 170 graduate students (master’s and doctoral students) come from 33 African countries, and the university is actively engaged in Egypt for French-speaking countries. Many ministers and public figures in their respective countries have graduated from this university. Three ministers from African countries attended the ceremony, along with numerous ambassadors, consuls, diplomats, and business representatives from African countries in the Arab Republic of Egypt.
El-Sharqawi expressed his joy at attending the graduation ceremony and emphasized the importance of continuing Egypt’s contribution to African affairs. He highlighted the need for a dynamic private sector that creates opportunities actively rather than passively waiting for them. In a crucial discussion with the students, Al-Sharqawi stressed the importance of real and effective collaboration, aiming to integrate education and work to support trade and investment between Egypt and African countries. He proposed a unique approach of utilizing students’ skills during their study journey to achieve mutual benefits.
El-Sharqawi conveyed his happiness in the company of his colleagues from the Egyptian-African Businessmen Association and affirmed their commitment to the success of this collaborative effort.
