Participants monitored a group of crises that affect identity and caused societal confusion, explaining that some believe that Egyptian society is not cooperative in order to promote tourism, as the movements of tourists in Egypt are among the security forces, and there is also discomfort in dealing with the Egyptian people as they were in the past.

They added that the Egyptian national identity is capable of defeating conspiracies and schemes, whether internal or external.

They proposed the establishment of the National Authority for the Preservation of the Egyptian Identity, so that it would be independent and work on the legislative axis, and it would have the right to present draft laws that would preserve the Egyptian heritage and history, whether ancient or modern.

Controls must be put in place to preserve national identity through audiovisual and electronic media, as well as proposals for educational content in all stages of education to ensure deepening identity among children and deepening the principle of citizenship in all its concepts under the rules and controls guaranteed by the 2014 constitution.
