CAIRO, Dec. 4 (SEE)- The Consultative Council of German University in Cairo organized a conference in Berlin to exchange legal experience between Germany and Egypt. Dozens of Egyptian and German judicial experts gathered in the Germany capital for the first time. The move will also improve Egypt's educational system.

"Exchanging experiences with German veteran experts will enrich our knowledge." Shehab, a member of the consultative council of the faculty of law at the German University in Cairo said. "Following the footsteps of successful educational models, especially from Germany, will definitely contribute to quickly boosting the development process of Egypt's education system."

Shehab delivered his statements while participating in the conference at the GUC headquarters.
