Culture Minister Abdel Wahed el Nabawy issued directives to ministry departments and agencies to hold more cultural and intellectual seminars on the dangers of terrorism and means to confront it.

The minister said the meetings should take up the role of citizens and the civil society in countering terrorism.

The events would be held in tandem with seminars organized to commemorate the Tenth of Ramadan (1973 War) anniversary, Nabawy said.
