Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi asserted that Cairo’s policy is based on openness to all major countries and establishing balanced relations with them for development and achieving peace and security.

Sisi toured the Military College headquarters accompanied by Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces and Minister of Defense and Military Production Lt-Gen Mohamed Zaki, Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces Lt-Gen Osama Askar, and several Armed Forces commanders.

The President engaged in an open dialogue with the cadets on the state’s efforts to promote Egypt's development and achieve stability in the region, regardless of the regional challenges.

Sisi also addressed efforts to enhance bilateral cooperation between Egypt and all the countries of the world, including military cooperation.

The President explained the basic pillars of Egyptian policy: openness to all major countries, establishing balanced and moderate relations with them for construction and development, and achieving peace and security.

The Presidential spokesman stated that Sisi followed up on the skills and physical training programs for the cadets at the Military College, in line with the President’s keenness to maintain direct communication.

The President directed the cadets to maintain their fitness along with high physical and mental readiness and exhibit the noble military values that have long characterized the institution of the Egyptian Armed Forces; values centered on discipline, commitment, and the desire to receive education and knowledge to become a model for the youth.

Sisi saluted the brave men of the Egyptian Armed Forces for their sacrifices and sincere efforts to safeguard the security and stability of the homeland, and the capabilities of the great Egyptian people.
