President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi celebrated the tenth anniversary of Ramadan, emphasizing the significance of this important date for Egypt. He expressed gratitude to all who contributed to the occasion and reaffirmed the nation's unwavering commitment to peace and justice, stating, "On the anniversary of the glorious October 6 victory, we draw inspiration from the heroism of our armed forces—the spirit of determination, planning, and persistence to regain and uphold our rights."
El-Sisi's message, shared via his official social media channels, highlighted the deep meaning of this day, representing the strength of the Egyptian people and their ability to counter aggression and reclaim their homeland's rights, regardless of the challenges they face.
He also remarked, "We affirm Egypt's commitment to peace based on justice, believing it to be the path to stability and development for all peoples of the region." The president acknowledged and saluted everyone involved in this significant victory and expressed admiration for the resilient spirit of the Egyptian populace, which continues to construct the nation with determination and pride.
On the domestic front, El-Sisi held discussions today about various projects being executed by the Ministry of Housing. Meeting with Dr. Mustafa Madbouly, Chairman of the Council of Ministers, and Engineer Sharif Al-Sharbini, Minister of Housing, Utilities and Urban Communities, the president received reports on the current status of these projects. Among the initiatives reviewed were plans directed toward Egyptians living abroad.
The official spokesperson for the presidency stated, "During the meeting, the president reviewed the executive status of the Ministry of Housing projects, including those aimed at reinforcing ties between Egyptians abroad and their homeland. The steps taken for the initiatives 'Your Home in Egypt' and 'Home of the Nation' were presented. These initiatives are focused on providing housing units and lands for Egyptians living outside the country in prime locations within provinces or new cities."
Ambassador Mohamed El-Shinawy highlighted the urgency of accelerating construction under these housing initiatives. He reported, "The president has directed the speeding up of construction activities related to the 'Your Home in Egypt' and 'Home of the Nation' initiatives, underscoring the significance of enhancing efforts to provide adequate housing for all Egyptian citizens."
El-Sisi placed significant emphasis on the need for continual follow-up on the development of several key projects, particularly those situated along the North West Coast. He insisted on maintaining close cooperation with executing companies and streamlining project implementation to achieve optimal outputs. The official spokesperson reiterated the president's instructions to boost the effectiveness of past state investments, particularly those involving advanced infrastructure projects achieved over recent years.
To this end, El-Sisi was adamant about the importance of regular monitoring of both current and future construction projects and developing housing units aimed at low and middle-income earners, with targets including approximately 400,000 housing units. This figure encompasses various types of housing, from affordable units to mid- and high-end options, which should be launched imminently.
El-Sisi's directives also stressed the necessity of enhancing the benefits of the developed infrastructure, asserting, "It is imperative to have continuous oversight of the projects currently underway, as well as the upcoming housing unit launch procedures. All efforts must align with the ambitions to maximize benefits from these projects, contributing to the broader framework of Egypt's development vision."
This focus not only aims to meet internal housing needs but also positions Egypt as forward-looking as it consolidates the bond between homeland and Egyptians abroad. The president’s remarks reflect the administration's dedication to advancing development projects and maximizing national infrastructure investments.
President El-Sisi's commitment resonates through his remarks acknowledging the social and developmental vision for the nation, aimed at creating sustainable opportunities and dignified living conditions for every Egyptian, regardless of their socioeconomic background.
The developments discussed not only demonstrate the government's proactive approach to housing issues but also reinforce the underlying theme of unity and resilience among the Egyptian people. With the anniversary of Ramadan serving as both historical remembrance and regeneration, El-Sisi's pledges and initiatives signify more than just political undertakings; they represent the hopes and aspirations of millions seeking stability and progress for their families and future generations.
