The meeting was also attended by the adviser to the President for Urban Planning and chairman of the Board of Directors of the New Administrative Capital Company, the head of the administrative oversight body, and the head of the engineering authority of the armed forces.

“The president demanded that the government’s transfer to the new administrative capital should represent a radical and modern development of the state’s administrative apparatus,” added Rady.

He also called for formulating a comprehensive conceptual framework for exploiting the current government assets and buildings in Cairo after vacating them within the framework of sound management of state assets and maximizing their value.
