CAIRO, June 12 (Aswat Masriya) - Egypt's president AbdelFattah al-Sisi said that "stability and security" are the main "achievements" that the country has seen over the past two years, at an iftar dinner on Saturday.

June 8 marked Sisi's two-years in office and half of his four-year presidential period.

The presidency held an iftar dinner on Sunday, and invited a number of governmental officials and public figures.

During the dinner speech, Sisi demanded that government officials take more actions towards "adjusting prices," for the sake of the poor.

He highlighted the importance of maintaining the "Egyptian identity," adding "we need to put a lot of  efforts into getting what we want."

The former army chief, who came into power in 2014, garnered more than 96 per cent of the votes, less than a year after leading the military ouster of then-President Mohamed Mursi, who hails from the Muslim Brotherhood, after mass protests against Mursi's rule. 

According to the watchdog Human Rights Watch, Sisi "leads a country that remains in a human rights crisis."
