His Holiness Pope Tawadros II emphasized that the Egyptian Church is striving to institutionalize its administration to improve organization and expand its global presence. Its activities now extend to more than 60 countries, with over 600 Coptic churches outside Egypt. It is estimated that the Coptic community abroad numbers around two million mainly in the United States, France, and Australia. He also touched on the independence of the Ethiopian Church, explaining that this occurred at the request of Emperor Haile Selassie in 1959. Prior to that, the Ethiopian Church was under the jurisdiction of the Egyptian Church. He noted that the relationship between the churches remains good despite the Ethiopian Church's diminished influence following previous unrest.
