The president’s remarks came during the inauguration of the Smart and Secure Document Complex on the Cairo-Sokhna road, Presidency Spokesman Ambassador Bassam Radi said.

The president said that “Egypt’s stance on this issue has always been very honorable”, indicating that Egypt values development in other countries on condition that it does not jeopardise Egypt’s water rights.

He added that the agreement was much better than any other solution.

“We are coordinating measures with Sudan. We will move, announce and assure the world of the fairness of our cause within the framework of international law and norms related to the movement of water across transboundary rivers. Our brothers in the Arab and African countries are currently looking into the matter along with its experience and results,” the president said.

“Co-operation between each other and building together is much better than disagreement and struggle,” President Sisi said.

“We must have learned from at least the challenges that we have witnessed; we saw the extent of cost that was incurred out of any confrontation,” President Sisi said, referring to the military confrontations in 1962 and 1967.

“In conclusion, I tell you and our brothers in Ethiopia that there is no need to reach the stage of jeopardising a drop of Egypt’s water, because all options are open, and our co-operation is better, and construction is much better than fighting,” President Sisi added.

President Sisi said the current water path from Ethiopia to Egypt was a divine creation. He added that through the past years, the Ethiopian public opinion had been unsatisfied with this path.

“It is God who put the water there and who made it come to Egypt. If the Egyptian land was  highland, then water would have not come to Egypt,” Sisi stated.

“What God created would not be changed by human beings,” Sisi added.

Meanwhile, the president also announced that the cost of the Secure, Smart Documents Complex, which is available only in very few countries of the world, is close to one billion dollars, which is a huge amount.

President Sisi made it clear that the state can open a large project every day, adding that the country opens a number of projects every period to reassure the Egyptian people that it is moving in the right direction.

The president indicated that only 3 ministries proposed to benefit from the services provided by the complex, and that the state seeks to make the services available to all ministries and agencies.

Sisi also stressed that this complex, whose idea was launched in 2015, represents a big leap in launching the smart government that coincides with the opening of the New Administrative Capital for the development of the country and combating corruption.

The president added that this was not only a matter of political will, but it is also a matter of making use of science and technology to achieve the country’s goals without wasting time and effort.

The president also said that the idea of ​​the complex will maximise the state’s resources and eliminate tax evasion in accordance with the laws determined by the state, stressing the need for self-confidence, so that the state can confront tax evasion, not just through the Ministry of Finance.

President Sisi said that educational certificates such as universities, doctoral theses, etc. will be 99.9 per cent secure and difficult or impossible to be forged, indicating that this comes with the effort that the state exerts in the smart government that will be in the New Administrative Capital. He continued, “All of these things will change the face of the Egyptian state for the better.”
