CAIRO) – Egypt’s Prime Minister Dr Moustafa Madbouli on Monday asserted the Egyptian nuclear program has been an issue of concern over several decades as a most important strategic pillar and option to boost sustainable development plans.
Egypt was among the first countries which realized the importance of the usage of nuclear energy, Madbouli said, addressing celebrations of the Nuclear Power Plants Authority (NPPA) marking the first annual anniversary of the Egyptian nuclear energy day, held under the sponsorship of President Abdel Fattah El Sisi.
Egypt announced November 19 will be the first annual anniversary of the Egyptian nuclear energy day, marking the signing of contracts for the construction of El Dabaa nuclear plant.
In 2015, president Sisi and Russian President Vladimir Putin witnessed the signing of the construction of nuclear plant between Egypt’s electricity ministry and the Russian company Rosatom.
Madbouli stated that November 19 represents a historic day in the lives of Egyptians at large and the nuclear sector in particular. (
