CAIRO — Egyptian authorities and political parties and forces are putting the final touches on the national dialogue scheduled for early July.
Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi in late April had called for a comprehensive national political dialogue bringing together all party and youth currents, without exception, with the aim of confronting the current challenges facing the country.
