The New Suez Canal represents an accomplishment by the people of Egypt who were able to self-finance this national project and proved their ability to deliver results through their diligence and hard work,
The Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday.
The 120-mile canal is already the fastest route between Asia and Europe, according to the Suez Canal Authority. The canal’s improvements, including the building of a 23-mile parallel channel, will allow two-way traffic for the first time and reduce waiting times by as much as eight hours for ships traversing the waterway.
“The project has already restored Egypt’s prestige globally,” said Juliet Shafiq, a 59-year-old engineer. “It has shown the world that when Egyptians want something, they get it done".
