CAIRO – Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El Sisi has affirmed that the danger of famine limits the abilities of countries and governments to implement the objectives of sustainable development at all its levels.
Delivering a speech via video conference to the UN Food Systems Summit, held during the UN General Assembly in New York on September 23, Sisi said: “Today’s summit is convening at a very critical timing which requires exerting more efforts to stand against complicated challenges that should be faced.”
According to MENA, Sisi pointed out that establishing a sustainable food system that achieves food security tops priorities of our communities especially in light of the accelerated impact of climate change along with complicated political conditions in some areas.
The danger of famine is threatening many areas of the world especially in Africa, Sisi said, adding that the escalation of such danger requires finding out quick and effective solutions to save millions of humans most of whom are women and children.
