The meeting was attended by Dr. Walid Abbas, Vice President of the New Urban Communities Authority (NUCA) for Planning and Projects, and other key officials.

At Alamein University, several facilities, including the faculties of International Law, Engineering (1 and 2), Computers, Arts and Design, and Postgraduate Studies, have been operational, with additional buildings expected to be completed and opened for the next academic year. Meanwhile, at Mansoura University, the faculties of International Legal Transactions, Textile Engineering, and Dentistry are fully operational, with partial operation of the Medical and Pharmacy faculties. Preparations are underway for the partial operation of the Engineering faculty and the administrative building in the upcoming academic year. Minister El-Sherbiny emphasized that the Ministry of Housing, through NUCA, is keen on attracting more universities to new cities, especially the fourth-generation cities. These institutions play a crucial role in enhancing the attractiveness of these cities, boosting year-round occupancy rates, and accelerating development, thereby creating more investment opportunities. Dr. Ashour highlighted the Ministry of Higher Education's plans to expand the establishment of foreign universities in new cities and expressed interest in partnering with the Ministry of Housing. In response, Minister El-Sherbiny welcomed the idea of partnerships through the provision of necessary lands for establishing these universities, particularly in the fourth-generation cities. The ministers agreed on the need to expedite the implementation of directives from President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, which call for the swift completion and operation of various facilities at Alamein and Mansoura Universities to meet the growing demand from students. They also decided to form a joint committee to explore available options and proposals for the rapid completion and operation of the remaining university buildings.
