Minister of Manpower Mohamed Saafan Sunday opened a plenary symposium with the ministry staff in cooperation with Nile Media Center of the State Information Service.

Addressing the event, titled "Terrorism and Development", the minister said Egypt has been affected with terrorism. However, with the current wise leadership of President Abdel Fattah El Sisi, the country was able to reach political, economic and security stability and cooperation between the army, the police and the people against the dark forces of evil.

It is necessary to set up a mechanism for uprooting terror and programs specifically for fighting the terrorist intellect with the collaboration of all state institutions, he said.

The best way to fight terror is to reach real economic development based on increasing production, investments and creating suitable jobs for youths, he added.
