“We will move ahead with our cooperation in a transparent and clear way, the Mediterranean is becoming an increasingly difficult sea for all of us. There must be cultural bridges and bridges of dialogue, and the blessing of the icon that depicts the journey of the Holy Family in Egypt marks for us a great success in cooperation”, added Mr. ambassador Badr.
