The new Suez Canal project will secure nearly one million job opportunities for youths, said Suez Canal Authority (SCA) chairman Mohab Mamish Friday.

The national mega project includes a raft of development projects, Mamish said during a reception held for a delegation of EgyptAir Company.

As many as 25,000 Egyptians are working now in the project, he noted.

The project will place Egypt in its normal position worldwide and boost the country's economy, Mamish said.
