CAIRO, June 13 (Xinhua) -- Egyptian Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly said on Friday that his government is closely monitoring developments following Israel's military strikes on Iran, as Cairo moves to strengthen its strategic reserves and prepare for potential regional spillover.
In a statement issued by the cabinet, Madbouly said he was coordinating with the central bank governor and the finance minister to increase Egypt's strategic stockpile of essential commodities amid growing regional uncertainty.
The Ministry of Civil Aviation also confirmed that Egyptian airspace remains secure and is operating normally. However, authorities have placed Cairo International Airport and all other airports on maximum alert. The ministry said facilities are fully prepared to provide technical and logistical support to any flights diverted or forced to make emergency landings due to regional developments.
Meanwhile, Electricity and Renewable Energy Minister Mahmoud Esmat reviewed Egypt's fuel reserves for electricity production and instructed power distribution companies to raise their state of readiness to ensure the stability of energy supplies.
Separately, the Egyptian Nuclear and Radiological Regulatory Authority said radiation levels at Iran's Natanz nuclear facility remain under control, with no indication of any leakage. The agency added it is continuously monitoring radiation data across Egypt in coordination with relevant authorities to safeguard public health and the environment. Enditem
