The opening ceremony for Egypt’s New Suez Canal, scheduled to take place on August 6, will not be paid out of the State budget under directive of President Abdel Fattah El Sisi, Chairman of the Suez Canal Authority Mohab Mamish said.
All dredging companies that are participating in the project were invited to contribute to the cost of the opening ceremony.
