Hosting COP27 in Sharm El-Sheikh will create major publicity for Egypt: Former antiquities minister

Zahi Hawass — renowned Egyptologist and former minister of antiquities — said that hosting the UN Conference of Parties on Climate Change (COP27) will create much publicity for Egypt.

He added that Egypt has a great history in which it was able to preserve its nature and climate. That’s why today, in the 21st century, seeing President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi heading this summit with presidents from the world over, places Egypt in the limelight of international press.

Hawass’ remarks came in a special episode of Narrative PR Summit: Leap to COP27, which is running in parallel with Egypt’s preparations to host the conference.

The Narrative PR Summit is hosting a number of key divs that underscore the Egyptian government’ efforts, key achievements, and development projects that feature a futuristic vision for major topics locally and globally.

“In order to innovate, the ancient Egyptian was able to follow up on all the developments around them, because Egypt’s national projects revolved around building — like the construction of the pyramids. That is why I always say that Egypt was built around the construction of the pyramids, cemeteries, and temples. Their belief made them keep track of all the developments around them in the climate and environment,”
