Minister of State for Emigration and Egyptian Expatriates’ Affairs Soha Gendi on Thursday said that as many as 700 people have registered to attend the fourth edition of the Egyptian Expatriates Conference so far, which will kick off on July 31.
The expats who registered at the conference include representatives of 65 associations representing the Egyptian communities in over 50 countries, the minster added.
In a statement issued by the Ministry of Emigration, Gendi voiced hope that the conference will be a key platform representing and reflecting aspirations and hopes of all Egyptian expatriates.
This year’s conference eyes wider participation of Egyptian expats from across the globe, in light of achievements attained by the third edition of the conference which saw the fulfillment of 20-year-old dreams of the expats like the issuance of a law allowing them to bring home tax-free vehicles, Gendi said.
The fourth edition would shed light on challenges facing the Egyptian communities abroad as well their basic needs, minister Gendi added.
The minister said field tours would be organized on the sidelines of the conference to a host of industrial cities and key investment zones, in order to give the expatriates first hand information on potential investment opportunities.
