This came during President El-Sisi's inspection on Thursday of the Military Academy, accompanied by Minister of Defence and Military Production General Mohamed Zaki, Chief-of-Staff of the Armed Forces General Osama Askar, and a host of military commanders.

El-Sisi added: "We have exerted great efforts to improve the human element, the workforce within the system. This is the most important aspect because any genuine process of construction must begin with education and spread to all other institutions. Without being able to craft a real formulation and genuine development for humans, all efforts invested in other areas would be deficient and insufficient. Therefore, we pay very great attention to the efforts made, the programs developed, and the meticulous monitoring of what we are doing."

"I congratulate you on the holy month of Ramadan. As usual, with the arrival of a new batch of new students, we visit the academy and meet the batch. I always follow the training, but I needed to meet you directly before the end of the training period," El-Sisi told cadets.

El-Sisi emphasized that the development process is a continuous one that does not stop, stressing: "If we stop development, we will be contradicting the reality around us."

He added: "There are many sectors within the academy, and in the new location, we will have much more capacity; We select the best we have, and even the different civilian sectors have been represented here. We want an Egyptian person capable of facing challenges and leading the state towards better and more welcoming horizons. Therefore, we have nothing but very serious management and the utilization of all resources, including human resources. We aim for the best building of character and to have a very balanced personality."

President El-Sisi observed various activities and sports training conducted by the new students who completed the military preparation period within the academy, praising the students' high level of physical fitness and self-confidence.

The President toured the equestrian fields and witnessed the level reached by the academy students.

El-Sisi also joined the students of the Egyptian Military Academy for the Iftar meal.
