In an interview with Al-Ahram and Al-AKbar newspapers out Friday, Sisi unveiled his electoral platform. "Egypt is in need for a comprehensive project to become a modern state," he said. He said he will work on improving infrastructure in many provinces at the same time he will seek luring more investments. Sisi said he will call for carrying out the 1200-km corridor development project in 18 months not in 10 years.
