Prime Minister Ibrahim Mahlab listened to a presentation on rehabilitation of the Amal (hope) Village project for young graduates in Al-Qantara Sharq, which is far from Ismailia city by about 15 kilometers.
The presentation showed that the village project was implemented in 2002 with total investments worth 80 million pounds.
This came during a visit paid by Mahlab to Ismailia governorate.
Later on, Mahlab cut short a tour of Ismailia and headed back to Cairo following news of the explosion which took place near the Foreign Ministry.
