The board of trustees started its work in July after President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi called for the step during the annual Egyptian Family Iftar banquet on 26 April.

The president has asserted that all intellectuals, syndicates and political forces are invited to the dialogue.

On 5 September, the board selected six rapporteurs and assistant rapporteurs for its political, social and economic track committees.

In previous remarks, Rashwan said whenever a subcommittee finishes discussing a particular track and makes recommendations it will present them to the dialogue’s board to be sent to the President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi for a final say.
