Egypt, which rose up against social injustice and tyranny, opens its arms to Africa and Asia in order to maintain cooperation and overcome the challenges facing it, affirmed President Adly Mansour. This came in a speech delivered by Head of the Afro-Asian Peoples' Solidarity Organization (AAPSO) on behalf of Mansour during the opening of the the first founding general conference for the federation of the African-Asian media people. Mansour, meanwhile, said that Egypt attaches great importance to maintaining cooperation between peoples of Africa and Asia. He further said that Egypt is waging a war against terrorism, in light of attempts by some world powers to impose hegemony on the country and meddle in its affairs. Media plays a crucial role in shaping various viewpoints and approaches, he went on to say. Egypt is keen on providing all forms of support to achieve the goals of the African and Asian media men, he affirmed.
