During his speech, Sisi said that the water Egypt receives does not increase, “so we cannot bear wasting it through any irrigation methods. He noted: “I can argue this with anyone, the private sector couldn't engage in a project of this size at a lower cost. And the effect of all the projects we built is showing positively day after another.” Sisi stressed. The “Future of Egypt” is considered the first venture, under the broader New Delta Project, to achieve self-sufficiency and export agricultural surplus. The project is also meant to reduce the bill of imports through securing hard currency and achieving the sustainable development goals.
