Egypt hails ‘exceptional’ ties with UAE
dubai — While congratulating the Egyptian community here on the occasion of the 64th Egypt National Day, top diplomats on Monday said that marking the event “here in the UAE really matters”. According to them, Egypt will also overcome all the ongoing challenges including the economic hitches.
Speaking to Khaleej Times on the sidelines of celebrations to mark the National Day or the July 23 Revolution, the Egyptian Ambassador to the UAE, Wael Gad, said the challenge is enormous, divergent, and varied.
The Egypt National day, also known as the July 23 Revolution, is marked to commemorate the establishment of the republic and the end of monarchy.
The revolution started by a group of armed officers, called Free Officers Movement, toppled King Faruq, which eventually led to the downfall of monarchy and establishment of a modern state in 1952. Thus Egypt became an inspiring example for African nations. The envoy added that Egypt is a key player in the region and “have all the potentials needed to make an astounding success, and prevail over these difficulties, but this can only be done with hard work rather than dreams.”
Such commitment will definitely bear fruits not only for this generation but more importantly for future ones, Gad said.
“Our hard work will ensure a brighter future for our children and grandchildren.”
Paying tribute to the UAE leadership, he noted that the EgyptUAE fraternity relations are deeply rooted, strategic, and exceptional, and are not only limited to the leaderships but also span the people of the two countries.
“Our historic relations, which flourished after 2013, go back to the time of the late Shaikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the founder of the UAE, who was known for his love and incessant support to Egypt.”
Sherif El Bedewy, Consul General of Arab Republic of Egypt in Dubai and northern emirates, said the Egyptian economy is immune against the global slowdown and terror attacks that are threatening

the entire Arab region. “The Egyptian Armed Forces are in a real state of war against the forces of darkness and terrorism not only in defence of Egypt but rather of the Arab region as a whole,” he said. “The development plans that cover all aspects of life will attract foreign investments to Egypt, giving a boost to our economy, and help improve the people’s standard of living.”
