Prime Minister Ibrahim Mahlab urged during ministerial meeting to swiftly finalize the designs of the Damietta projects and selecting suitable lands.

He said that there is a proposal for establishing a firm to be in charge of the project with the state contributing with the needed land.

“The project represents a marked progress for the government,” said Mahlab.

During the meeting, Damietta governor gave a presentation on the project.
