Egyptian Member of Parliament Ahmad Ibrahim El-Banna has voiced his support for President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi's directives stemming from the 2026 forum. El-Banna views these directives as a comprehensive roadmap that translates youthful visions and ideas into concrete, actionable steps. This move, according to El-Banna, underscores the political leadership's commitment to prioritizing the needs and well-being of Egyptian citizens.
El-Banna highlighted the significance of the cabinet-proposed annual plan to monitor various sectors and public opinion issues. He noted that making these plans and recommendations publicly available, complete with a timeline and performance indicators on the forum's website, marks a significant step toward enhancing transparency and societal oversight. This approach enables citizens and state institutions to track implementation progress directly.
The directives from President El-Sisi place considerable emphasis on investing in human capital. This includes expanding programs offered by the National Training Academy and activating the "Shabab Misr" platform. These initiatives aim to prepare a new generation of young, capable cadres and facilitate their direct communication with officials. El-Banna also praised the launch of the "State of Innovation" program and the recognition of exceptional young talents.
El-Banna commended President El-Sisi for honoring student Miayar Othman, the winner of the 2026 Arabic Reading Challenge award. He cited this act as an inspiring example for the nation's youth. The President's directives also focus on the humanitarian and social aspects of development. These include the establishment of a national system based on artificial intelligence to facilitate communication and provide services for the deaf and hard of hearing.
Furthermore, the directives address providing vocational rehabilitation programs and suitable job opportunities for people with disabilities. They also involve offering religious education in sign language, reflecting a practical application of the strategy to empower and fully integrate people with disabilities into society. El-Banna emphasized the importance of these measures in enhancing the quality of life for all citizens.
The Egyptian MP concluded by stating that the House of Representatives values these wise directives. The parliament is committed to working closely with the government and executive institutions to ensure the implementation of these recommendations. The goal is to achieve tangible outcomes that positively impact citizens' daily lives.
Key to these efforts is the collaboration between the legislative and executive branches to monitor progress.
