The Egyptian House of Representatives has begun its second ordinary session of the third legislative term. The opening session was attended by Prime Minister Dr. Moustafa Madbouli and Hany Hanna, Minister of Parliamentary Affairs. The session was presided over by Hisham Badawy, the House's president. Key discussions included a presidential objection to Article 25 of a bill establishing the Armed Forces University for Applied Sciences.
During the session, the Prime Minister addressed the parliament's accomplishments, highlighting its role in handling national challenges through legislative efforts. The House has adopted numerous important laws to enhance the state's reform and development initiatives. These laws aim to support the government's programs and national priorities.

A significant focus of the session was the creation of the Armed Forces University for Applied Sciences.
