Second day of 'Tale of Homeland' conference kicks off

CAIRO - 18 January 2018: The second day of the conference, entitled "Tale of a Homeland", to review the achievements made during President Abdel Fatah al-Sisi's four-year tenure, kicked off on Thursday.

The first session of the conference is set to tackle the infrastructure and national mega-projects established during Sisi's first term, while the second is set to focus on the economy and social justice, according to the Presidency's agenda on the conference.

President Sisi is also set to answer citizens' questions about his four years in office during "Ask the President", as part of the online initiative which holds the same name and was launched earlier in January.

During the first day of the conference, President Sisi said he deemed his period as a president as a “rescue mission.”

He also said that what Egypt accomplished during the past years is the result of a dream that Egyptians insisted on bringing to reality.

“All the achievements and reforms that got carried out were because of all Egyptians,” President Sisi stressed during on the first day of the conference.
