Cairo, November 12 (QNA) - Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty discussed Thursday ways to reinforce cooperation with the European Union on migration during talks with EU Commissioner for Internal Affairs and Migration, Magnus Brunner, who is currently visiting Cairo.

As stated by the Egyptian Foreign Ministry, Abdelatty emphasized during the meeting the importance of strengthening the established cooperation with the EU through a holistic approach that links migration and development and one that solves the roots of the illegal migration problem through economic and social development.

Abdelatty said Egypt carries heavy loads by welcoming millions of migrants that evaded regional crises that only further expanded in time and space. (QNA)
