Belarusian Ambassador Bids Egypt Farewell in Arabic:
Pasant Elzaitony The Embassy of Belarus in Cairo hosted a celebration on the occasion of the National Day of the Republic of Belarus, attended by Egypt's Minister of Culture, Dr. Ahmed Fouad Henni, alongside a distinguished group of foreign diplomats, led by Ambassador of the Russian Federation Georgiy Borisenko. The event also welcomed Dr. Ibrahim Kamel, President of the Egyptian-Russian Friendship Association; Ambassador Ezzat Saad, Director of the Egyptian Council for Foreign Affairs; Dr. Saleh Hashem, former President of the Association of Arab Universities; a delegation from the Association of Graduates of Russian and Soviet Universities headed by Sherif Gad; Member of Parliament Dr. Dohaa Assi; and Dr. Mohamed Nasr El-Gabaly, former Dean of the Faculty of Al-Alsun at Luxor University. The celebration coincided with the end of the term of Belarusian Ambassador Sergei Terentiev, who began his diplomatic mission to Egypt in 2019 as the resident Ambassador to Egypt and non-resident Ambassador to both Sudan and Oman. Although Terentiev speaks five languages, Arabic is not among them—yet he surprised attendees by delivering his farewell speech in Arabic for the very first time. He expressed deep pride in his time in Egypt, a period that witnessed a qualitative leap in Belarusian-Egyptian relations. Ambassador Terentiev emphasized that Belarus and Egypt share aligned views on major international issues, rejecting double standards and any interference in the internal affairs of sovereign states. He affirmed the two countries' joint support for a multipolar world order free from the dominance of a single power. He also highlighted the close ties between the leaderships of the two nations, noting that Egypt remains a top destination for Belarusian tourists, with hundreds of thousands visiting Red Sea resorts and historical landmarks annually. Egyptian children also take part each year in the international camp hosted in Belarus, and the number of Egyptian students pursuing education in Belarus continues to grow steadily. In his remarks, Minister Ahmed Fouad Henni praised the strong and friendly relations between the two countries and highlighted the productive meetings between the two presidents. He expressed hope for deeper cooperation to serve the mutual interests of both peoples. It is worth noting that Ambassador Sergei Terentiev graduated from the Belarusian State Economic University in Minsk in 1995. He initially worked in the banking sector before joining the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Belarus later that year. He served at the Belarusian Embassy in Japan and held various posts, including Director of the Middle East and North Africa Department, and later, Head of the Asia, Australia, and Oceania Directorate. Since 2019, he has served as Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of Belarus to Egypt. In conclusion, Terentiev stated that as he returns home, he does so with a heart full of love for the Egyptian people and countless fond memories of the land of Egypt. read more 2 Most Inspirational Green Projects in Egypt AEW Dynamite, WWE NXT to Strive over Viewership Tonight Egypt Marks 70th Anniv. of 2011 Revolution, National Police Day In Depth: WWE NXT Halloween Havoc In Depth: AEW Dynamite, WWE NXT Tuesday Viewership Strive Videos & Features WATCH: Egyptians Break Ramadan Fasts in Matariya Videos & Features GrEEk Campus Hosts Jobzella Fifth Career Fair Videos & Features 3 Iconic Ramadan Songs of All Times Videos & Features Top 4 Destinations to Visit in Upper Egypt News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Arts & Culture Lebanese Media: Fayrouz Collapses after Death of Ziad Rahbani Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results

Arab Universities to host international recruitment forum in Amman - Society
The Association of Arab Universities (AArU), in collaboration with Belgravia Advisers, is preparing to launch the Arab Universities and International Student Recruitment Agents Forum. The event is scheduled to take place on Monday and Tuesday in Amman. The forum aims to strengthen international cooperation between Arab higher education institutions and certified student recruitment agents from around the world. It will feature bilateral meetings, the signing of strategic partnership agreements, and discussions on mechanisms to increase enrollment and student engagement in Arab universities. This initiative aligns with the AArU's mission to enhance the global standing of Arab higher education and to develop tools that keep pace with international changes and challenges in student recruitment. Ezzat Salama, the association's secretary-general said: 'This forum represents a strategic platform to strengthen the presence of Arab universities on the international educational map.' It, he added, opens new horizons for collaboration with specialized partners in student recruitment. 'At the Association, we firmly believe that expanding international student enrollment not only enriches cultural diversity on campuses but also contributes to enhancing educational quality and boosting the global competitiveness of our institutions." The Association of Arab Universities, headquartered in Amman, was established in 1964 following an initiative by the League of Arab States. Its foundation was preceded by key conferences in Benghazi and Beirut, which addressed challenges in Arab higher education and proposed frameworks for inter-university cooperation. The first General Conference in 1969 saw the participation of 23 founding universities, at which point the General Secretariat became permanent and Morsi Ahmed, Egypt's former higher education minister, was elected as the first Secretary-General.

Amr Ezzat Salama: Arab Universities Forum is Key to Global Competitiveness
H-Tayea Amr Ezzat Salama, Secretary-General of the Association of Arab Universities, has described the upcoming Arab Universities and International Student Recruitment Agents Forum as a strategic initiative that will significantly advance the global presence and competitiveness of Arab higher education.

The two-day event will feature bilateral meetings, partnership agreements, and in-depth discussions on expanding enrollment and improving student engagement across Arab academic institutions. Dr. Salama emphasized the transformative potential of this initiative, stating: 'This forum represents a strategic platform to strengthen the presence of Arab universities on the international educational scene and opens new horizons for collaboration with partners specialized in international student recruitment. At the Association, we believe that expanding international student enrollment not only enriches cultural diversity on campus but also contributes to improving the quality of education and enhancing the global competitiveness of our academic institutions.'

The winners of the Yousef Bin Saeed Lootah Young Scientists Award were recognised across three categories: In the circular economy category, the first prize of $15,000 was awarded to Professor Dr Heba Salah Hamed from Ain Shams University in Egypt. In the renewable energy category, the first prize of $15,000 went to a project by Professor Dr Maher Al-Jaabari, researcher Raghad Mubarak, and researcher Dana Al-Jaabari from Palestine Polytechnic University.

He expressed his pride in their scientific excellence and in recognizing this distinguished group through the first Arab award of its kind focused on circular economy, renewable energy, and green chemistry. He noted the award's significant strong engagement from the scientific and academic communities across the region, emphasizing that this award is just the first step toward transforming winning research into real-world initiatives and development projects. He said: 'This award reflects the wise leadership of the United Arab Emirates in promoting science and supporting young scientists across the Arab world.

The award's total value is Dhs250,000 and covers three core areas: circular economy, renewable energy, and green chemistry. The award aims to promote research, education, and international collaboration in these fields, spotlight the achievements of young scientists, highlight the potential impact of their research and innovations on social and economic transformation and sustainable development, and encourage youth engagement with science.
