SIAG Developments is known for its innovative residential, commercial, and administrative projects in the Delta region, creating vibrant communities that offer more than just living spaces. El Alwy Urban Development, with over 25 years of experience, started its operations in the Gulf (Qatar and UAE) before expanding into Egypt. The company integrates modern technology into its projects, ensuring they meet both local and international quality standards. Misk Urban Developments, a Saudi-backed firm with over 20 years of presence in the Egyptian market, is recognized for its luxurious designs that align with global real estate standards. The founders of Mahawer highlighted the immense potential of the real estate sector, which continues to attract both local and foreign investment. They noted that the Egyptian government’s support, particularly from the New Urban Communities Authority, plays a crucial role in fostering investment in real estate development. Maged El-Basiony, CEO of Mahawer, expressed that the new venture combines the expertise of three prominent companies in real estate and urban development. “Mahawer is not just an alliance; it represents a bold vision that blends innovation, ambition, and experience with forward-thinking strategies,” he said.

Civil, military leadership briefed on security According to sources, this meeting was not officially covered ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif chaired a meeting on the security situation of the country on Monday, in which important federal ministers, senior military leadership and senior civil officials participated. According to the sources, the meeting was held at the Prime Minister’s House, Islamabad. The participants were briefed about the law and order situation in the country. In the meeting, a briefing was also given about the incidents of terrorism, the Islamabad sit-in and the situation in Parachinar. According to the sources, this meeting was not officially covered. The meeting continued from 3:30 pm to 5 pm in which important decisions were made to deal with terrorism. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif will undertake an official visit to Egypt from 18 to 20 December 2024 to participate in the Eleventh Summit of the Developing Eight (D-8) countries being held in Cairo, announced the Foreign Office. The D-8 held its first summit in 1997 in Istanbul and now holds one every two years. In 2012 it was Pakistan that was the host. Of importance will be the Special Session of D-8 on the Humanitarian Crisis and Reconstruction Challenges in Gaza and Lebanon to deliberate on the situation resulting from Israeli aggression in the Middle East. “The prime minister will underline Pakistan’s principled position on the situation in Palestine and call for peace in the Middle East”, said the Foreign Office. Pakistan has called for an immediate cessation of hostilities in Palestine, end to genocide in Gaza, protection of civilian infrastructure, unrestricted humanitarian activities and healthcare to those in urgent need. The D-8 had earlier also been focused on the Israeli aggression in Gaza where this summer it held an extraordinary meeting of the Council of Foreign Ministers in Istanbul which adopted a joint declaration on the situation in Gaza. Pakistan was represented by Foreign Minister Mohammad Ishaq Dar. Preceding the summit, Deputy Prime Minister/Foreign Minister Senator Mohammad Ishaq Dar will attend the 21st Session of the D-8 Council of Ministers on 18 December 2024. The theme of the 11th D-8 Summit 2024 is “Investing in Youth and Supporting SMEs: Shaping Tomorrow’s Economy.” “At the summit, the prime minister will underline the importance of investing in youth and SMEs for building a strong and inclusive economy; creating jobs; advancing innovation; and promoting local entrepreneurship”, says the Foreign Office. The D-8 member states besides Pakistan include Egypt, Bangladesh, Malaysia, Nigeria, Indonesia, Iran and Turkiyei where they focus mainly on economic cooperation. This cooperation includes finance, rural development, science and technology humanitarian development, agriculture, energy environment and health. In this regard Shahbaz Sharif will express Pakistan’s strong commitment to the ideals of D-8; underscore the importance of fostering partnerships for mutual benefit and prosperity; and promoting cooperation in agriculture, food security and tourism. He will also underline Pakistan’s incentives for youth empowerment and financial development. On the sidelines of the summit, the prime minister is expected to hold bilateral meetings with participating leaders, but the Foreign Office has so far not indicated which meetings have been confirmed. All eyes will be on a possible meeting between the prime minister and the Bangladesh interim government Chief Advisor, Muhammad Yunus in the backdrop of improving bilateral ties after the removal of the Sheikh Hasina government. Both leaders met in September on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly where Muhammad Yunus called for the revival of Saarc as the primary platform for regional cooperation in South Asia.Trump taps Rollins as agriculture chief, completing proposed slate of Cabinet secretaries
