CAIRO, Dec 17 (MENA) - President Abdel Fattah El Sisi on Tuesday witnessed assessment tests for students applying to the Egyptian Military Academy in the New Administrative Capital.

Spokesman for the Presidency Mohamed El-Shenawy said the president examined degrees each student had obtained while performing all test phases until reaching the test of physical appearance and fitness assessment, which reflects complete transparency in the test results.

The spokesman added President Sisi engaged in a dialogue with students on some current issues at the domestic, regional and international levels to test their knowledge and cultural awareness.

The president called on students to be aware of events in the world, learn about modern science and be a role model for all Egyptians, given their great responsibility for defending the country's security and stability in light of accelerating challenges and successive changes witnessed by the Middle East.

President Sisi emphasized the Armed Forces' keenness to pick the best students with complete objectivity and impartiality and in accordance with the latest accurate scientific standards after they pass all tests. (MENA)
