This came during the minister's meeting with Japanese Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Toshiko Abe to discuss enhancing cooperation on joint educational projects and future prospects for cooperation.
There are currently 55 Egyptian-Japanese schools, and 15 new schools will open in September, Abdel Latif said.
He praised bilateral relations, which 'represent a unique model of strategic cooperation based on a shared vision, especially in the education sector.'
He also commended the effective partnership in technical education through support for the establishment and operation of applied technology schools, in cooperation with leading Japanese industrial institutions such as Toyota, Casio, and Yamaha.
This partnership represents a successful model for linking education to the actual labor market, the minister said.
He noted that there are 90 frameworks for these schools, and that there are 1,270 schools that the education ministry seeks to cooperate with the Japanese side to develop.
The minister emphasized his aspiration for further future constructive cooperation, whether through expanding existing programs or creating new areas of cooperation that contribute to enhancing the quality of education.
For her part, the Japanese minister expressed her gratitude for the invitation from minister Abdel Latif to visit Egypt and praised the positive results of his visit to Japan in February.
The Japanese-Egyptian relations represent a distinguished model of international cooperation based on deep understanding and a shared desire to advance education, according to her.
She expressed her great pride in the partnership with Egypt, especially in the field of developing pre-university education, which is considered one of the basic pillars of human development.
She praised the tangible progress in areas of cooperation between the two countries, especially the Egyptian-Japanese schools, which represent a successful experience in applying the Japanese education philosophy, especially Tokkatsu activities, which aim to develop children's personality and promote the values of discipline and teamwork.
She expressed her aspiration to share experiences with Egypt to expand this experience throughout Africa. (MENA)

Taiwan says China deployed 2 aircraft carrier groups, dozens of ships - International
China deployed two aircraft carrier groups and dozens of ships in waters north and south of Taiwan last month, a Taiwanese security official said Monday, as Beijing keeps up military pressure on the self-ruled island. Up to 70 Chinese ships, including navy vessels, were monitored from the Yellow Sea to the South China Sea from May 1-27, a security official said on the condition of anonymity. Beijing has ramped up the deployment of fighter jets and warships around Taiwan in recent years as it pressures Taipei to accept its claims of sovereignty over the island. China has refused to rule out using force to bring Taiwan under its control, leaving the island to face the constant threat of invasion. "Its military actions and grey-zone activities have included large-scale deployments across the entire island chain, involving comprehensive maximum pressure," the security official said in remarks released Monday. "On average, there have been between 50 to 70 naval vessels and government ships as well as hundreds of sorties by various military aircraft continuously conducting harassment operations." Some of the ships passed through the Miyako Strait to the Western Pacific Ocean for "long-distance training, including combined air-sea exercises", the official said. Another 30 Chinese vessels with no name, documentation or port of registry were detected near Taiwan's Penghu archipelago in the Taiwan Strait on May 19 and had been "deliberately sent to harass", the official said. And a total of 75 Chinese aircraft were involved in three "combat readiness patrols" near the island during the month, Taiwan's defence ministry figures show. Asia-Pacific's so-called first island chain links Okinawa, Taiwan and the Philippines, while the Yellow Sea is west of South Korea -- all partners of the United States and critical to its influence in the region. 'More provocative' The Taiwanese security official said China's activities in May were "more provocative than previously observed". In one incident, Tokyo and Beijing exchanged diplomatic protests each accusing the other of "violating" national airspace, after a Chinese helicopter and coast guard vessels faced off with a Japanese aircraft around disputed islands. The Chinese actions were a demonstration of "military expansion" and were aimed at controlling the "entire island chain and improving their capabilities", the official said. China's deployment coincided with Taiwanese President Lai Ching-te's speech on May 20 marking his first year in office and came ahead of an annual security forum in Singapore at the weekend. US Secretary of Defence Pete Hegseth told the Shangri-La Dialogue that China was "credibly preparing" to use military force to upend the balance of power in Asia. Beijing, which did not send its Defence Minister Dong Jun to the summit, warned Washington "should not play with fire". "It felt like they were in a state where they could announce something at any moment, trying to seize on some opportunity or excuse to act," the Taiwanese official said of the Chinese. China has carried out several large-scale military drills around Taiwan since Lai took office. Follow us on: Facebook Instagram Whatsapp Short link:
