Egypt has named Mohamed Ahmed Morsy as the new Minister of State for Military Production
Egypt has named Mohamed Ahmed Morsy as the new Minister of State for Military Production following the death of former minister Mohamed El-Assar, who passed away earlier this month.
Morsy was sworn in by President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi on Sunday.
Egypt’s parliament approved during its plenary on Sunday morning the appointment of the new minister.
Al-Assar's successor served as a former director of the country's Arab Organisation for Industrialisation (AOI) and a former assistant to the defence minister.
The late minister Al-Assar held the position since 2015 and died on 6 July at the age of 74 after a battle with disease.
