The Governor of Aswan, Magdy Hegazy, and the ambassador of Switzerland to Egypt, Markus Leitner, will inaugurate on Monday a project in Aswan city, which started in December 2012. The project aims to end Al-Nassereya’s predicament, a district which has long suffered from irregular and interrupted potable water supply. In this regard, Swiss ambassador Leitner expressed that “Switzerland is delighted to see this important initiative come to fruition. The Aswan water project comes within the framework of Switzerland’s wider partnership with Egypt. Switzerland provides funding of around CHF 20m annually in development projects across Egypt in three domains: economic development and employment, democratic transition and human rights, and migration and protection.
