Egypt's El-Dabaa Nuclear Project Reaches Milestone with Incoming Turbine Generator
Egypt's Ministry of Electricity and Renewable Energy has confirmed that the El-Dabaa Nuclear Power Plant will receive the turbine generator for its first reactor unit before the end of 2025 — marking a major milestone in the country's flagship energy project.
Minister of Electricity and Renewable Energy, Mahmoud Esmat, recently visited the facilities of Arabell Solutions and Framatome in Belfort, France, to inspect progress on the manufacturing of key components for the El-Dabaa reactors. The visit focused on reviewing the production status of power-generating turbines and evaluating the readiness of critical electrical systems, including generator assemblies and turbine parts.
During the visit, the minister also examined the latest developments in the technical testing of the turbine generator for Unit 1. According to a statement issued by the ministry on Tuesday, Esmat was briefed by senior representatives from the two French companies regarding the readiness and performance of the plant's core electrical infrastructure.
The ministry emphasized that the incoming turbine will be the largest of its kind ever installed in Egypt — and across the African continent — underscoring the scale and significance of the El-Dabaa project within the region's energy landscape.

FM Commends Distinguished Ties between Egypt, Greece during Meeting with Counterpart
Taarek Refaat Badr Abdel Aati, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Immigration, and Egyptian Expatriates Affairs praised the historical ties between Egypt and Greece and the distinguished political, economic, and cultural relations, which culminated last month in the elevation of relations to a strategic partnership. This came during Abdel Ati's meeting Wednesday with Greek Foreign Minister Georgios Gerapetritis. The meeting addressed ways to develop the distinguished bilateral relations between the two friendly countries. During the consultations, Abdel Ati affirmed Egypt's aspiration to continue advancing the strategic relations between the two countries to broader horizons in various fields. The Foreign Minister also briefed his Greek counterpart on the court ruling issued on May 28 regarding the lands surrounding Saint Catherine's Monastery. He emphasized that the Monastery, its archaeological sites, its spiritual value, and its religious status should not be affected. He noted that the court ruling preserves the monastery's spiritual value and high religious status, and that the ruling allows the monastery's monks to continue to benefit from it and the religious and archaeological sites in the area. He emphasized that, contrary to what was falsely reported in the media, the ruling clearly affirmed the religious, spiritual, and monastic ownership of the monastery and the surrounding lands. This represents an important historical step that confirms the sanctity and religious status of the monastery. It also enables the monastery to continue performing its religious and spiritual functions without any change to the status quo. Minister Abdel Aati highlighted the President's affirmation on several occasions, including during his recent visit to Athens on May 7, of Egypt's full commitment to preserving the monastery's sacred religious status and protecting it from any form of encroachment. He explained that this reflects Egypt's full and unwavering respect for the monastery's religious and sacred character, within the framework of the values of tolerance and peaceful coexistence among religions, deeply rooted in Egypt's history. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Sports Neymar Announced for Brazil's Preliminary List for 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Arts & Culture New Archaeological Discovery from 26th Dynasty Uncovered in Karnak Temple Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream

Brazil Unveils BRICS Vocational Education Priorities to Boost Workforce Innovation
Israa Farhan Brazil has put forward a strategic agenda to enhance cooperation in vocational education among BRICS nations, positioning technical and vocational education and training (TVET) as a critical driver of sustainable economic growth and social development. At a recent high-level meeting of the BRICS TVET Cooperation Alliance (BRICS TCA), hosted by Brazil's Ministry of Education, member states convened to discuss expanding access to education, aligning skills with market demands, and fostering innovation across educational systems. The gathering brought together senior officials from education ministries, academic institutions, and international organisations representing Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, and partner countries including Egypt, Ethiopia, Indonesia, and the UAE. Francisco Figueiredo, Special Advisor to the Brazilian Minister of Education, underscored BRICS' vital role in facilitating policy exchange, collaborative innovation, and direct partnerships between TVET institutions. Marcelo Bregagnoli, State Secretary for Technological and Professional Education, highlighted that more than 2.5 million students are currently enrolled in secondary vocational programmes in Brazil, with over 1.5 million studying in public institutions—a record number according to the 2024 census. The meeting concluded with the identification of three core priorities for future collaboration: improving access and quality of vocational education for youth, reinforcing its role in national economic strategies, and integrating advanced technologies and innovative pedagogies. China's delegate, Zhai Jinming, noted the growing impact of BRICS TCA as a platform for joint research, student and faculty exchanges, and cross-border educational initiatives. By aligning education strategies with emerging global trends and labour market needs, BRICS countries aim to future-proof their workforces and deepen cooperation across borders, laying the foundation for inclusive and resilient development. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Sports Neymar Announced for Brazil's Preliminary List for 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Arts & Culture New Archaeological Discovery from 26th Dynasty Uncovered in Karnak Temple Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan
