President Abdel Fattah El Sisi received Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouli on Sunday, in a meeting that addressed several political, economic, and social issues, among other items on the government’s agenda.
Premier Madbouli reviewed efforts aiming to expand social protection measures and care for the most vulnerable citizens, as well as issues pertaining to development of education and healthcare, comprehensive development, investments, increasing exports, and localising industries within the framework of Egypt Vision 2030, Presidency Spokesman Mohamed El-Shennawy said.
President Sisi stressed the need to secure the country’s requirements of strategic commodities over sufficient periods, in light of the ongoing regional and international developments, the spokesman added.
He also emphasised the importance of continuing and intensifying efforts to curb inflation, while maintaining more spending on the health, education, and social protection sectors.
The President further underscored the necessity of monitoring market regulation and ensuring the availability of food commodities, El-Shennawy noted.
Meanwhile, the president reviewed with the prime minister the ongoing preparations for the inauguration of the new campus of Senghor University in Borg El Arab later late this month.
The project reflects the deep-rooted co-operation between Egypt and its international partners, and also contributes to supporting development and capacity-building efforts across Africa through providing an integrated educational environment that accommodates students from various African and Francophone countries, Spokesman El-Shennway said.
