Merkel Offers Egypt Help in Stemming Migration to Europe


Angela Merkel has sought to help Egypt in tackling migration to Europe as the German Chancellor visited the country ahead of a trip to Tunisia.

After meeting President al-Sisi, she said she had discussed assistance and equipment to clamp down on human traffickers and prevent a new route from opening up.

They also talked of helping Egypt deal with the region’s refugee crisis.

“We have reached concrete agreements on border control, Egypt has made suggestions on technical support. Further talks are needed on that, but on the point of border control, Germany is ready to offer further support,” Merkel said.
