Egypt’s Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly approved to issue commemorative coins in the denomination of five pounds, on the occasion of raising awareness to combat illegal immigration and human trafficking.
The Arab Republic has adopted an effective policy in dealing with illegal immigration and supporting refugees in light of its commitment to relevant international charters.
Last October, the European Union (EU) penned an agreement with Egypt for the first phase of a EUR 80 million border management programme.
The project aims to help Egypt's coast and border guards lower irregular migration and human trafficking along its border. It will also offer surveillance equipment such as search and rescue vessels, thermal cameras, and satellite positioning systems.
