Egypt’s President Abdel Fattahal-Sisi has appointed Lieutenant General Osama Rabie as chairman of the Suez Canal Authority, the presidency said in a statement on Saturday.

Rabie, a naval officer, was vice chairman of the Canal Authority under its previous head, Mohab Mamish, who will become an adviser to the president on seaports. Sisi also appointed engineer Yahia Zaki as head of the Suez Canal Economic Zone, a mega-project launched in 2015 to be an international hub for global manufacturers along the canal.
