Here is What Sisi said: 

"In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful,

The Great People of Egypt,

Today, we celebrate the 8th anniversary of June 30 Revolution together, an immortal and luminous memory in our consciousness and the history of our people.

It is through that memory that Egypt has restored its national identity and helped its great people take the right path to prove to the whole world that they have a strong, unrelenting and unbreakable will and a firm determination. The Egyptians would, hence, achieve their rightful aspirations, a better life, and a brighter future for their children and future generations.

I can say with full confidence that June 30 Revolution has set a unique example of popular revolutions in history. It embodied precious meanings and values, the most important of which is the ability of the Egyptian people to overcome the unbeatable challenges only through their unity and national alignment.

As you are aware, the State has used its full-fledged power to face these challenges over the past few years. One of the challenges is terrorism which the valiant armed and police forces put under siege, suppressed, and foiled its attempts to sow instability and chaos.

In parallel, we also had to face the other and greater challenge which is raising awareness so that people would realize the reality of Egypt’s conditions, seek ways to resolve its problems, and embark on a comprehensive development process to advance all aspects of life across our dear homeland, Egypt.

The Egyptian people, with their awareness and ancient cultural heritage, have supported the State’s efforts toward the path that we have chosen together.

This is through the implementation of a comprehensive strategic vision to build a strong, advanced, and modern nation in all fields, in light of a deep and comprehensive economic and social national reform program as well as enhanced modern educational methods in all walks of life.

This marks a step on the road to changing the reality of life in Egypt to shape the present and future of Egypt ¬ –with its great and glorious past – in a way that meets our satisfaction and is reflective of our pride. Thus, citizens living in this country will find a decent space for themselves and their children.

Today, and on this very special occasion for all of us, I assure you that we are racing against time in order to achieve those long-awaited aspirations. To that end, we have launched, over the past years, an integrated series of national projects in all fields and sectors.

In addition, we have mobilized the state’s efforts to improve the living conditions of all categories of citizens across the country.

I assure you that Egypt has found its way to real development, backed by the alignment and support of its great people to continue working, developing, building and making reforms to confront the long-standing challenges faced by the State.

Brothers and Sisters,

We all have to continue making redoubled efforts in order to overcome the challenges imposed on the world today by the Covid-19 pandemic. In this regard, we have made clear achievements witnessed by all international development and economic institutions through a balanced path taken by the government in dealing with the crisis.

I have full faith that the huge efforts being made by the dedicated and loyal people of Egypt are enough to continue this balanced approach in order to achieve the economic and social progress and development that the Egyptian people aspire to have.

The Great People of Egypt,

I extend to you today my sincere greetings and appreciation; I offer my heartfelt greetings to Egyptian men and women for your deep and true awareness of the country’s reform requirements in order to embody our ideals and set a good example to follow. They have proved once again the wisdom and ingeniousness of these honorable people.

On my part, I renew the covenant with you to continue, shoulder to shoulder and hand in hand, laying solid rules and foundations for continuing progress and construction as well as moving toward a better future for you and your children, inspired by the spirit of the glorious June 30 Revolution.

Many happy returns and may Egypt live in progress, safety and stability.

Long live Egypt! Long live Egypt! Long live Egypt!

May the peace, mercy and blessings of Allah be upon you.”
