Cairo- Egypt: Pope Tawadros II of Alexandria on 26/5/22 received at the papal headquarters a delegation of African journalists . Pope presented a brief history of Egypt and the Coptic Church, stressing that unity among people in Egypt is natural just like the Nile River which is the national water source for all. He also spoke about the service of the Coptic Church in various African countries, referring to the medical and educational services provided by the Church to African societies, notably the Hope Hospital in Kenya School of Technology in Burundi.

He urged the delegation to be advocates of peace and love, by stating “On the occasion of your visit to Egypt, since you represent the media and newspapers in your state, I invite you to be the advocates of peace and love. God asks each one of us to love his fellow man, so be always advocates of peace and love to construct a new world. There no life without love”.

An African delegation visits the country every year under the auspicious of the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs which is aimed at boosting partnership and cooperation between Egypt and the rest of African nations.
