Egypt announced the cultivation of cotton in desert conditions for the first time, following several trials conducted in the city of El Tor in South Sinai.

Regarding this, Minister of Agriculture and Land Alaa Farouk stated that “this breakthrough demonstrates how scientific research can be applied to agriculture, benefiting both farmers and the national economy.”

For its part, the Cotton Research Institute added that these trials used “modern irrigation and fertilization techniques, which evaluated six cotton genotypes, including ‘Super Giza 86,’ ‘Super Giza 94,’ and ‘Super Giza 97,’ along with three new strains.”

Regarding the first harvest, authorities reported that it was harvested 127 days after planting and added that the tested varieties are able to tolerate the drought, salinity, and heat of the area.

The Minister of Agriculture said they will continue to provide support to researchers and agricultural projects aimed at increasing productivity and that they “intend to introduce this approach to other governorates while training farmers in updated cultivation methods.”

During the 79th session of the United Nations General Assembly, a cybersecurity agreement was announced between Venezuela, Russia, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Nicaragua, Belarus, Burkina Faso, Egypt, Iraq, Kyrgyzstan, and Laos.

The signing of this agreement is an endorsement of the United Nations Convention on Cybercrime and will help members collect and share digital evidence, combat the use of cyberspace to commit crimes, and strengthen regulations in this field.

“The group urged all member states to sign the document during the official ceremony scheduled for Hanoi in 2025, and to work on the development of an additional protocol addressing other crimes enabled by digital technologies, in accordance with General Assembly resolutions 74/247 and 75/282.”

Venezuela and the 11 signatory countries urged the UN to establish a “Permanent Mechanism on ICT Security, to replace the current open working group on the peaceful use of information technologies (2021–2025). The objective would be to consolidate a stable, consensus-based institutional framework to address cybersecurity issues from the perspective of international peace and stability.”

The document is critical of sensitive issues such as the use of new technologies as tools for interference in internal affairs, “political destabilization, and manipulation through satellite internet networks.”

The twelve nations advocate multilateralism, non-interference, and respect for each state’s national legislation.

Egypt accepted the help offered by the United States to unblock the Suez Canal, which has become impassable due to the grounding of a ship belonging to the Evergreen Line freight transport company.

“In relation to current efforts to move the ship that was stranded during its transit through the canal, the Suez Canal Authority (SCA) values ​​the offer of the United States to contribute to these efforts”, said the managing body of the commercial artery.

The SCA affirmed that it hopes to cooperate with the North American country “in appreciation of its good initiative” and has stressed that the offer “confirms the friendly relations” between the two countries.

The Authority also expressed its appreciation for all the offers of assistance received and has underlined its commitment to achieve regularization of maritime traffic through the canal “as soon as possible.“

To unblock the canal, it will be necessary to dredge between 15,000 and 20,000 cubic meters of sand. The objective is for that area to reach a depth of between 12 and 16 meters that allows ship float, which was stranded on Tuesday.

According to estimates by the firm Lloyd’s List, the blockade of the canal prevents the daily transit of goods valued at around 9.7 billion dollars.
