CAIRO - 2 February 2020: Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Agency (MSMEDA) signed an agreement with the European Union (EU) on uprooting illegal immigration through a 27- million-Euro grant offered by the EU.

Trade Minister Niven Gamea, in a statement issued on Sunday, said that the agreement underscores MSMEDA keenness on fighting illegal immigration, providing alternatives to youths by training them and honing their skills and creating job opportunities.

The agreement will be effective across 11 governorates that most suffer from illegal immigration, including Beheira, Sharqiya, Minya and Luxor.
