Sisi: Egypt’s Constitutions Must Cope with World Challenges  

President Abdel Fattah El Sisi said Saturday that Egypt’s constitutions must always be subject to review and updating to cope with world challenges.

During a speech via video conference, at the preparatory meeting for heads of African constitutional courts, held in Cairo, Sisi called on all parties participating in the meeting to discuss how to address the challenges facing the African continent. 

He also asked the participants to work collectively to develop common constitutional rules in a way that supports our vision, stressing the need for everyone to benefit from the digital judicial platform that was launched in previous meetings, in a way that brings benefit and good to the peoples of Africa.

Sisi added that the digital transformation represents a major challenge for the African continent, and would negatively affect countries that do not care about this transformation, pointing out that Egypt has taken serious and important steps in the field of digital transformation. Hence, he expressed his aspiration for the success of the Cairo meeting, concluding: Long live Egypt, and Long Live Africa.

Cairo witnessed the launch of the conference organized by the Supreme Constitutional Court, headed by Counselor Saeed Marei for senior African judges and international experts, under the auspices of Sisi, in preparation for the fifth high-level Cairo meeting of presidents of constitutional courts, supreme courts, and African constitutional councils, with the participation of 45 African courts and regional organizations, and international experts.
