Sisi says army’s genuine role to protect national security, borders

Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah El Sisi said that protecting Egypt’s national security is a genuine and major role of the Armed Forces.

This is important to defend the borders and Egypt’s interests, Sisi said while inspecting the lineup of the fourth armored division of the Third Army Field in Suez Wednesday.

Egypt has never crossed its borders and has always acted to protect its land, the president stressed.

Sisi said today’s inspection is part of activities to celebrate the golden jubilee of the October War victory. Every year, efforts exerted by the Armed Forces to protect Egypt’s national security are remembered, he noted.
