On the sidelines of EGYPS 2022, Kuwait Energy has signed a strategic memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Ministry of Petroleum to support the development of young leaders and middle management in attendance of the Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources Tarek El Molla, according to a press release.

The launch of the second phase in its new edition comes as a resumption and a continuation for the success of the program’s first phase which has been sponsored by Kuwait Energy Egypt in 2019 at designing the “Emerging Leaders” program that provided six months of intensive developmental training for 10 high potential talented participants with approximately 2500 learning hours per participant.

On this occasion, Kamel Al Sawi explained “Kuwait Energy Egypt continues the sustained commitment towards the support of the modernization program that has been initiated by H.E. Eng. Tarek El Molla two years back. It comes out of our belief that this will help Egypt to achieve its major target of being a regional energy hub which requires different mentalities and challenging capabilities, and our responsibility is to build these capabilities together with the ministry.”

Lastly, Kamel Al Sawi expressed his pleasure to the strategic partnership with the Ministry of Petroleum to launch this key development program in the second edition stating that the capacity building programs reinforce youth empowerment and contribute to the development and preparation of Egyptian calibers to assume leadership positions in the petroleum sector and develop the upcoming generation.

The MoU was signed by the company’s President Kamel Al Sawi from Kuwait Energy Egypt’s side, and Alaa Hagar, Head of the Central Administration of the Ministry’s Technical Office, from the MOP side.
