The prime minister said that the government would honor President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi’s promise to implement the project on schedule. He asserted that they are currently making a new history by digging the new Suez Canal.

Mahlab pointed out, “I came to the Suez Canal as an engineer, who is willing to work in the new Suez Canal project so that I could tell my grandchildren that I was honored by working in this giant project“.
