Egypt urges foreign media to be accurate regarding Damietta incident

Egypt's State Information Service (SIS) is actively monitoring foreign media reports concerning the Damietta port incident. The agency affirmed its dedication to maintaining open communication with international media and foreign correspondents. SIS aims to supply them with precise and current details, drawing exclusively from official statements issued by relevant Egyptian authorities, particularly the government.

The SIS emphasized that its information dissemination is based on official pronouncements regarding the incident's circumstances and the ongoing investigations. The agency stressed the importance of foreign media outlets adhering to professional standards and ensuring the accuracy of their reporting. It specifically urged them to obtain information related to Egyptian affairs, such as the Damietta incident, solely from official Egyptian sources.

This call for accuracy comes as the SIS noted that some foreign media outlets have published information that is not factually correct. The agency reiterated that investigations into the Damietta incident are still in progress to fully determine the circumstances and identify any responsible parties. SIS's directive underscores its commitment to controlling the narrative and ensuring that international reporting aligns with the official Egyptian government position.
