President Sisi was briefed on developments in the unified government network project, connecting the state’s administrative apparatus, said Presidential spokesperson Ahmed Fahmy in a statement on Monday. The network aims to strengthen the ability to circulate government data in a secure, rapid and sophisticated manner, so as to qualify the administrative apparatus to upgrade all government services delivered to the citizens. The President was also updated on efforts to improve mobile phone services and boost the Internet's infrastructure to accommodate intensive usage and development requirements during the current and future phases.
