Munich Security Conference in the limelight on Egypt’s talk shows

The Munich Security Conference was the highlight of last night’s talk shows, with Hona Al Asema’s Lama Gebril (watch, runtime: 03:44 and runtime: 12:01) and Masaa DMC’s Eman El Hosary recapping the key takeaways from President Abdel Fattah El Sisi’s speech (watch, runtime: 01:59). El Hekaya’s Amr Adib was more interested in the president’s meeting with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, during which they discussed immigration (watch, runtime: 03:21). We have the full details on the conference in Speed Round, below.

Egypt must begin manufacturing automotives domestically by bringing foreign manufacturers to set up shop here while simultaneously beginning to manufacture Egyptian vehicles, Rep. Fawzy Fata said on Masaa DMC. Fata also dismissed citizens’ plans to set up a company to begin importing vehicles instead of relying on car dealerships as unfeasible (watch, runtime: 09:58).

Public Enterprises Minister Hisham Tawfik discussed public sector companies’ losses with El Hekaya’s Amr Adib (watch, runtime: 00:40).
