CAIRO – Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El Sisi said on Thursday Egypt overcame a lot of consequences associated with the coronavirus crisis over the past two years.
Sisi made the remarks as part of a speech he delivered via video conference on the occasion of the Global Forum for a Human-centred Recovery that is organized by the International Labor Organization (ILO).
The president expressed thanks to ILO for organizing this important event that brings together heads of state and government who are responsible for formulating and implementing the national policies of their countries.
President Sisi said the future of the international system in a new world has been taking shape day after day, noting that the Covid-19 pandemic has ravaged economic and social conditions with its impact surpassing that of the most severe crises across the world.
Any attempt to overcome the repercussions of this crisis has to be human-centred, Sisi noted.
In this regard, the president said the coronavirus pandemic was, and is still, a human crisis in general, not just a health, economic or a social one.
