Presidency’s first press conference to be held hours after cabinet sworn in

A press conference will be held at Ettihadiya Palace on Tuesday at 1:30pm, a few hours after new cabinet, led by Prime Minister Ibrahim Mehleb, was sworn in.

 

The presidency’s press conference will be the first after President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi took office.

The ministerial meeting, headed by Sisi, will tackle a variety of issues.

Mehleb’s cabinet took oath earlier on the day at 7am. The new formation includes 34 ministerial portfolios, with 21 ministers remaining from the previous cabinet, while 13 new ministers joined.
