Mohamed Aboul Enein's word
Addressing the session, Aboul Enein hailed the recent laws issued by the Minister of Trade and Industry, Dr. Nevin Gamea, which encourage small and medium enterprises as well as her efforts to attract investment.
He said that all new laws and industry laws' amendments have contributed to attracting investments, explaining that all previous plans that took decades to no avail are currently being implemented by a strong will on the ground.

He pointed out that the political leadership's precise supervision, the presence of ambitious visions, were 'the secret behind this notable success.'
