Rev. Dr. Andrea Zaki: Positive citizen participation is a crucial part of national issues, making citizens active and influential contributors to shaping the future of their country. The journey towards the future begins with drawing inspiration from the past and establishing the present. Positive citizen participation is a key factor in building a strong and sustainable society. The work of the Minister of Solidarity is characterized by patriotism, sincerity, and rich practical experience.

Dr. Nevine El-Kabbaj:

Dr. Reverend Andre Zaki is a national leader advocating for citizenship and aspiring towards a modern civil state. The evangelical presence in Egypt contributes significantly to spreading awareness, education, and providing social services to the Egyptian society. Egypt has managed to overcome development gaps thanks to the awareness of its people and the determination of the state. We aim for comprehensive development in the New Republic through the efforts of all its citizens. We continue the building process using principles and practices of governance and information technology to confront any challenges.

Dr. Abdel Moneim Saeed:

Despite the challenges, Egypt has achieved numerous accomplishments on all levels. The genius of the place comes at a high cost, placing us at a crossroads that requires us to make decisions and choices.

The Cultural Dialogue Forum, organized by the Evangelical Coptic Authority for Social Services, held the conference “Together Towards the Future: Participation and Action” under the patronage of Dr. Pastor Andre Zaki, the head of the Evangelical Church in Egypt and the head of the Evangelical Coptic Authority for Social Services, on Tuesday. The event was attended by Dr. Nevine El Kabbaj, the Minister of Solidarity, along with elite leaders and symbols of Egyptian society. The session was inaugurated by Mrs. Samira Luka, the head of the first dialogue sector at the Cultural Dialogue Forum, and the events were moderated by Dr. Abdel Moneim Saeed, a member of the Senate, with media dialogue led by Hamdi Rizk.

In the opening remarks, Dr. Pastor Andre Zaki welcomed the Minister of Social Solidarity, expressing his great appreciation for her continuous commitment and participation in the important events of the Evangelical Coptic Authority. He praised her effective role and dedicated work based on scientific principles and rich practical experience, as well as her adoption of humanitarian, social, and national causes. He also welcomed

Dr. Abdel Moneim Saeed, a member of the Senate and an expert in political affairs, and the esteemed media figure Mr. Hamdi Rizk.

In his concluding remarks, Rev. Dr. Andrea Zaki said, “Always and forever, we pray for our country and its leaders, for its security, peace, progress, and prosperity. We participate in the work for the service of our beloved nation and the building of its bright future.”

On her part, the Minister of Solidarity expressed her happiness in participating in the meeting, saying, “Rev. Dr. Andrea Zaki is a national leader who fosters citizenship and seeks a modern civil state. The Evangelical presence in Egypt has white hands extending help to Egyptian society in spreading awareness, education, and social services.” She added, “Egypt is strong with its army, leadership, and great people, and it has been able to overcome developmental gaps through the awareness of its people and the will of the state.” She also emphasized the continued efforts to achieve comprehensive development in the New Republic with the efforts of all its citizens, confirming her commitment to the building process using principles and practices of governance and information technology to face any challenges.

The Minister stated during her speech, “Egypt proves day by day that it plays an active and strategic role in the region that no one denies. It stands as a formidable lion in the area, and its role in the Palestinian cause illustrates the strength of the Egyptian people who support the oppressed in a time when human rights are being neglected.” She clarified, “The term of the new republic extends to human development, social investment, enhancing work and production methodologies, and integrating societal groups into the development process. Each individual has a responsibility, and recent initiatives impact our people in Upper Egypt and rural areas, where there is a real breakthrough in various aspects.”
During his speech, Dr. Abdel Moneim Saeed stated, “The pressures facing our country now make us think about achieving the Vision 2030, and Egypt should be among the leading countries in the world.” He emphasized, “Despite the challenges, Egypt has achieved many accomplishments on all fronts.” He explained, “Identity is a great blessing for Egyptians, but we feel that it is not getting its historical due in the contemporary world.” He added, “The greatest development in the New Republic is the construction of roads and bridges, expanding the concept of knowledge between governorates and placing the state at the forefront of threats directed at it in Sinai.” He clarified, “During the era of Presidents Nasser and Sadat, there were only 6 tunnels.” He further added, “Six million Egyptians participated in the construction process in recent years, the majority of whom were young people.”
