Egypt’s Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly departed Cairo International Airport on Thursday for Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, leading a high‑level delegation to attend, on behalf of President Abdel Fattah El‑Sisi, the opening ceremony of the Julius Nyerere Hydropower Plant and Dam.
The landmark project was implemented by an Egyptian consortium comprising Arab Contractors and Elsewedy Electric.
The official delegation included Minister of Water Resources and Irrigation Hani Swailem, Minister of Housing, Utilities and Urban Communities Randa El‑Menshawy, Alexandria Governor Ayman Attia (a former deputy head of the consortium), Arab Contractors Chairman Ahmed El‑Assar, and Elsewedy CEO and Managing Director Ahmed Elsewedy, along with senior officials and representatives of the Egyptian consortium.
Madbouly stated that his participation in the opening ceremony, on behalf of President El‑Sisi and in the presence of Tanzanian President Samia Suluhu Hassan, reflects Egypt’s commitment to strengthening African‑African co-operation and building successful strategic partnerships across the continent.
He added that such partnerships aim to promote sustainable development through the joint implementation of projects in diverse sectors, contributing to greater progress and prosperity for the peoples of Africa.
