‘Egypt needs you,’ El Sisi tells local businessmen in call for economic assistance – The National

Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El Sisi has sought to rally local businessmen behind his government’s efforts to weather the devastating impact on global prices caused by the Russia-Ukraine war, saying the nation wanted them to do more.

“Egypt needs you. We need your efforts. Do we need your success too? Yes, very much,” the Egyptian leader said in a video clip of the meeting released by his office on Tuesday.

“In all modesty, the country is now capable of taking off. What is left is for us to join hands. We are in the same boat.”
