Pope inaugurates first Coptic church in Japan
Pope Tawadros II
Cairo - Al Maghrib Today
Egypt’s Coptic Orthodox Pope Tawadros II has inaugurated the first Coptic Orthodox church in Japan on a visit to the city of Kyoto.
The church was established in 2016 to serve Egyptian, Ethiopian and Eritrean members of the church, which has an estimated 25 million members worldwide.
“The church doesn’t know geographical borders; we will look after Copts anywhere in the world,” said Pope Tawadros, the first Coptic pope to visit Japan.
The inauguration was attended by clergy including Coptic Bishop Daniel of the Sydney diocese in Australia, and the Egyptian ambassador to Tokyo, Ismail Khairat.
“This visit comes in line with the Egyptian state’s aim to bolster ties with Japan,” said Egyptian journalist Sameh Mahrous.
“The establishment of a Coptic church in Japan strengthens the Egyptian state’s presence over there.”
Pope Tawadros begins a week-long visit to Australia on Thursday.

Paris - Al Maghrib Today
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
