The Egyptian government is preparing for a conference aimed at highlighting its achievements across various sectors. The event, which is expected to take place in the second half of October, was initiated by President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi. The government has been working to gather data on its accomplishments in different fields, including education, culture, and youth and sports. The conference aims to demonstrate the government's efforts to address the concerns of citizens and improve their living standards.
The government has been holding a series of meetings to discuss the conference's themes and files. Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly chaired three consecutive meetings with several ministers to prepare for the event. The meetings focused on topics such as education, culture, and youth and sports. The government has also been working to identify the concerns of citizens and gather their feedback through various channels.
The conference is expected to feature discussions on various topics, including education, healthcare, and economic development. The government aims to engage with citizens and listen to their concerns through a limited dialogue process. According to the government's spokesperson, the dialogue will not be open-ended but rather structured to ensure that citizens' concerns are addressed. The government plans to announce the platforms through which citizens' concerns will be collected in the coming days.
The government's efforts to prepare for the conference coincide with the start of the second ordinary session of Parliament. President el-Sisi issued a decision calling for the House of Representatives and the Senate to convene on October 1. The session is expected to focus on discussing general policies and addressing citizens' concerns. The government's achievements in various sectors will also be on the agenda.
In a related development, the government has been working to address the issue of bread prices. The Ministry of Supply and Internal Trade is studying the provision of wheat to the tourism bread sector.

The Ministry of Transport has announced an increase in toll fees for vehicles using the Wadi El-Natrun- El-Alamein road.

The government has also been working to improve road safety and reduce accidents.
