May the one true God of love, peace and justice continue to protect the gentle and progress-loving people of the Land of the Nile, Egypt , so that the coexistence, harmony and perfect collaboration between Muslims and Christians may bear fruit and develop the genuine ideals of solidarity and love of all people, always.
Egypt is the shining example and the model of this peaceful coexistence, between Christians and Muslims. Many years!”
