CAIRO – The national dialogue administration has selected head of Egypt’s Journalists Syndicate Diaa Rashwan as General Coordinator of a national political dialogue scheduled to kick off early next month.
Meanwhile, Secretary-General of the Supreme Council of Media Regulation (SCMR) Mahmoud Fawzy was appointed as chair of the national dialogue’s technical secretariat, the administration revealed in a statement Wednesday.
The administration explained that the general coordinator will be responsible for starting consultations with political parties and all other participants in the national dialogue to form board of trustees that will include 15 members representing all parties, public figures, and experts to ensure their effective participation.
The administration added that all needed logistics and supplies had already been completed by the National Training Academy, which is in charge of organizing the National Youth Conference.
President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi has called on the National Youth Conference management to carry out a comprehensive political dialogue to set priorities for a national plan of action.
The call, made at an annual “Egyptian Family Iftar” meeting during the holy month of Ramadan in late April, seeks a political dialogue with all national forces “without exception,” with findings to be submitted to the president.
