The UAE has turned over 100 schools with 1,668 classrooms to Egypt on Tuesday, August 4, 2015. The handover event, which took place at the Egyptian Prime Minister, Ebrahim Mahlab’s office on Tuesday, saw Dr Sultan Bin Ahmad Sultan Al Jaber, UAE Minister of State and Chairman of the Coordination Office of the UAE-funded Development Projects in Egypt, signing off on the completed UAE projects along with four Egyptian ministers. The completion of the projects comes on the eve of Egypt’s much anticipated inauguration of the New Suez Canal on Thursday, in which the UAE has also played a significant supporting role.
