The ancient Egyptians respected the status of woman and admitted her role on equal footing with man. And history recorded names of Egypt s queens and famous women such as Hetchapsut, Nefertari, Nefertiti, Cleopatra, Shagaret- el Dorr. The women in Egypt now represent 27% of the diplomatic corps personnel, and the Egyptian woman now enjoys full political rights since the year 1956, and she has become a minister in all Egyptian successive governments since more than 40years ago.
I address you today to celebrate a national occasion dear to me as well as all Egyptians to remember what the Egyptian woman has already achieved and what she aspires for in the future.
"Ruler of the Nile," "Daughter of Gods," and "Empress of the Mediterranean" or let us say Nefertiti; she was the female pharaoh who followed Hatshepsut and she remained highly controversial than her precedent.
