CAIRO - 11 September 2020: Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry asserted that the National Strategy for Human Rights in Egypt is a roadmap for human rights conditions in the country.

The strategy reflects the genuine political will of the Egyptian State to promote dignity of Egyptians, added Shoukry in an address at the launching ceremony of the strategy, which was attended by President Abdel Fattah El Sisi in the New Administrative Capital on Saturday.

This first strategy aims at promoting national efforts to develop human rights and respect rights and freedoms of citizens, Shoukry went on to say.

He noted that the Permanent Higher Committee for Human Rights is responsible for preparing the strategy.

The establishment of the committee is an important addition to the institutional structure, that respects and protects human rights, the foreign minister further said.

Shoukry said the strategy reiterated the government's utmost keenness on boosting human rights as a crucial component in the national comprehensive development projects in tandem with the sustainable development strategy and Egypt vision 2030.

Launching of the strategy shows the importance the political leadership is attaching to promoting human rights in Egypt, he added.
