Deputy Foreign Minister for Migration and Egyptian Expatriates Ambassador Nabil Habashi met with a delegation from the German state of Saxony to discuss executing a letter of intent signed in September 2026. The talks centered on enhancing cooperation in labour mobility and creating legal employment channels.
Ambassador Habashi emphasized turning the cooperation framework into practical measures that align Saxony's labor market needs with the skills of Egyptian professionals. He noted the importance of vocational training opportunities in Germany.
The discussions involved determining specific requirements from German employers, engaging the private sector, and utilizing the Egyptian-German Centre for Jobs, Migration and Reintegration.
Egypt introduced a preliminary vision for an executive framework during the meeting. This proposal includes forming a steering committee and an executive working group comprising relevant Egyptian authorities, with potential private-sector participation.
The head of the German delegation confirmed Saxony's dedication to fulfilling the letter of intent. The German state requires skilled Egyptian workers across multiple fields, including healthcare and nursing, industry and technology, construction, transport, education, social services, and hospitality.
