As part of the state’s efforts to raise national awareness among university youth, and under the patronage of Professor Dr. Abdel Aziz Konsowa, President of Alexandria University, the Popular and Military Defense Forces organized a major educational seminar at the Faculty of Law.

He noted that the massive leap in road and highway networks has placed Egypt among the world’s top 20 countries in road quality, describing roads as the “arteries of life” for any investment-led renaissance. He also highlighted the New Administrative Capital as a symbol of the state’s aspirations toward the future.

This was echoed by Professor Dr. Mohamed El-Feky, Dean of the Faculty, who affirmed the Faculty of Law’s commitment to preparing a distinguished legal graduate armed with national awareness, capable of playing an active role in building the New Republic and confronting contemporary challenges with insight and competence.
