Al-Azhar Grand Imam, Prof. Ahmad At-Tayyeb, received Ambassador Nabila Makram, Minister of Immigration & Egyptian Expatriates’ Affairs.

The Grand Imam said that Al-Azhar Ash-Sharif receives international students from more than 100 countries every year, and provides full support to these students who study religious and secular sciences before they return to their countries as ambassadors for Islam and peace. His Eminence pointed out that some of the graduates of Al-Azhar held high-level positions in their countries, contributing strongly to their development and advancement, and working to promote the values of tolerance and coexistence that they have learned at Al-Azhar.

Ambassador Nabila Makram stressed that the international students who graduated from Al-Azhar are among Egypt's most important components of soft powers in the world, noting that the fact that some of them hold high-office positions in their countries confirm the strength of Al-Azhar and the extent of its influence all over the world.
