CAIRO – Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah El Sisi on Saturday hailed the role played by the Armed Forces in several fields.
The Armed Forces did not stop at fighting terrorism, but also fought backwardness and deterioration, as they supported the state, along with investors and businessmen; to implement major national projects, Sisi said during the launch ceremony of a major agriculture project.
The Engineering Authority of the Armed Forces has supervised thousands of projects worth billions or trillions of Egyptian pounds until they are completed in a country whose population increases by at least two million people annually, which means an increase of 20 million people within 7 or 10 years, he added.
However, President Sisi warned that if development rates do not keep pace with the population increase in Egypt; the gap will not be bridged.
