Preserving the security and stability of the nation is a strategic objective that we defend and are keen on. Economic reform is an indispensable necessity while protecting workers' rights. National work institutions must pave the way before youth to assume leadership posts.

In his speech on the occasion of Labour Day, President Hosni Mubarak stressed that the march of economic reform went continuously side by side along political reform and that the great leap achieved makes it incumbent upon us to pay attention to the labour base so as to benefit from the accomplishments of technology, push ahead administrative reform, create new job opportunities for the youth and raise development rates. There has to be strong armed forces that are capable of protecting the nation against both internal and external threats. The Israeli announcement that it rejects the idea of resuming peace talks with the Palestinians after agreeing on cease-fire for a month and that it also rejects any timetable to reaching agreement on ceasefire is a clear proof that Israel once more is practicing aggression against the unarmed Palestinian people and is threatening to attack neighboring countries especially Israel and Lebanon. The Egyptian-Jordanian initiative is undoubtedly the best as it is based on former peace accords between the Palestinians and the Israelis. It seems that the government of Ariel Sharon is attempting to devoid it from its content for known reasons.
