During the meeting, President Sisi underlined the importance of choosing ministers according to their competence, integrity and vision for the future, presidential spokesman Alaa Yusuf said.

The next cabinet has to swiftly address hot files to achieve a leap in services provided to citizens and has to pay more attention for needy and marginalized people, the spokesman said.
