The President reviewed Egypt's economic program, which includes development projects that are currently being carried out, as well as the Suez Canal development project, which includes the establishment of a number of harbors and two industrial zones in East Port Said and Ain Sokhna. Investment in this project provides promising opportunities for production and export from Egypt to Arab and African markets.
