A message worth noting: El Sisi gave a speech (watch, runtime: 1:45:55) during the event, emphasizing that “peace is a strategic choice for Egypt” and that “Egypt has no hidden agenda against anyone.”

Showcasing military readiness: Former director of the Regional Center for Strategic Studies in Cairo Mohamed Abdel Moneim told El Sa’a El Sadesa’s Azza Mostafa (watch, runtime: 7:35) that El Sisi's speech sent a message regarding the readiness of the Egyptian armed forces.
