This move aims to ensure a stable supply of essential goods for an extended period. The Prime Minister's directives come as the country faces significant global challenges, including a slowdown in economic growth and an energy crisis.
The meeting also addressed President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi's recent discussions with top state officials.

He emphasized that the country's stability is crucial, given the diverse methods used to harm Egypt. The President's remarks underscore the government's commitment to addressing the challenges facing the nation.
Dr. Madbouly tasked ministers with intensifying efforts to raise public awareness about the challenges facing Egypt. He stressed that public awareness is a vital component of securing the internal front.

This increased focus on awareness aims to counter attempts to harm the country.
The government is preparing for a conference scheduled for October, as called by President El-Sisi. The conference will showcase achievements in various sectors over the past few years. Dr. Madbouly reported that preparatory workshops will be held this week, with ministers from relevant sectors in attendance.

The Prime Minister congratulated the new House of Representatives on the start of its second regular session. He urged government members to continue cooperating with parliamentarians, responding to questions, and engaging constructively with parliamentary tools. This cooperation aims to serve the interests of citizens and the nation. Effective communication between the government and parliament is essential for addressing the country's challenges.
The Council of Ministers approved several decisions, including the suspension of a previous decision to implement a remote work system on Sundays. This decision applies to all employees in institutions and entities specified in the original decree.
