It follows up progress achieved to carry out mega national projects, mainly the one-and-a-half-million feddans reclamation and the Suez Canal corridor development projects.

The Cabinet reviews reports on the semi-final draft of the government platform that will be submitted to the newly-elected House of Representatives.

It resumes discussions on laws related to the media and press for their issuance in the coming period.
