CAIRO, Jan 10 (MENA) - A large-scale program has been developed to help the Egyptian State progress in line with modern state standards, President Abdel Fattah El Sisi announced Friday.

"A country's ability to ensure a proper level of services and living conditions for its citizens is determined by its resources," President Sisi told students of the Egyptian Military Academy during an open dialogue.

He noted that despite the loss of billions of dollars in Suez Canal revenues, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) had applauded the ongoing economic reform process in Egypt.

"Many Egyptian companies are now thriving in various fields," the president reassured citizens, confirming that the state is on the right track despite the challenges it has faced over the past four years. (MORE)
