Egyptian students abroad requested media content about achievements in the country to \u201cdefend\u201d Egypt when there are attempts to distort its image, according to a Tuesday statement by the Immigration Ministry.<\/p>\n
In the framework of conferences under the slogan \u201cEgypt Can\u201d that focuses on political involvement and youth empowerment, students abroad participated via video calling in a seminar attended by Immigration Minister Nabila Makram, Egypt Can experts, and members of the Coordination of Party Youth and Politicians (CPYP).<\/p>\n
The students praised the experience of CPYP and said they want to benefit from the group\u2019s ideas. CPYP was established in 2018 after President Sisi called for developing political life. It aims at forming a dialogue platform between youth from different political movements.<\/p>\n
To correct the \u201cmental image\u201d of Egypt, \u201cwe count on our youth abroad as a soft and influential force,\u201d Makram said, adding that the ministry\u2019s Dialogue Center for Egyptian Students Abroad is the platform that will play this role of support and information about everything in Egypt, linking the students to all institutions at home.<\/p>\n
Of the participating students, Ahmed Dorgham, a researcher at St. Petersburg University in Russia, said students abroad represent a shield for the Egyptian state and are keen on presenting the \u201creal image\u201d of Egypt. He added that learning at national universities in Egypt should be promoted so students do not join sub-standard universities abroad even though there are great universities in the country.<\/p>\n
