President Hosni Mubarak yesterday attended the graduation ceremony of a new batch of police officers and specialist police officers at the Mubarak Academy for Security.
The ceremony included military parades. Prime Minister Ahmed Nazif, and the speakers of the People’s Assembly and Shura Council were among the attendees as well as Habib el-Adly, Minister of Interior Affairs, Zakaria Azmi, presidential cabinet chief, and a number of ministers and senior state officials.
El-Adly, who welcomed the president and other attendees, gave a speech in which he spoke of police devotion to achieving stable development. Mubarak, he said, has created the pathway for the country’s future reform and development, protected by force and stability and enhanced by constitutional institutions.
The interior minister said police officers have encountered terrorism, crime and drug dealing, many of them sacrificing their lives to fulfill their duties. He said the police are conscious of their mission’s foundation based on societal consensus, the Constitution, and authoritative judicial decisions. He also noted that party pluralism has different aspects for political mobility.
