Following the success of the German embassy in Egypt’s four-day convoy across four governorates in Upper Egypt using public motorways without bodyguards or the like, German citizens can be sure that Egypt is safe, German ambassador Julius Georg Luy told Daily News Egypt during a press conference in Minya. The convoy traversed from Sohag to Minya on Tuesday, the last day of “German Week in Upper Egypt” which began Saturday in Luxor. “For those who ask about security conditions in Egypt, I can confidently say that the movement of a massive diplomatic team, headed by myself, across four governorates in Upper Egypt is a clear sign of stability,” Luy said. According to the ambassador, the “German Week in Upper Egypt” was not simply a diplomatic visit but an inspection to examine the real problems and obstacles to development on the ground. On Saturday, the German Embassy in Cairo launched the “German Week in Upper Egypt” in Luxor with the attendance of Luy and Local Development Minister Ahmed Zaki Badr.
