Dr. Ibrahim Saber, the Governor of Cairo, inaugurated the development work at Khamsin Square in the Maadi neighborhood. The project was completed in collaboration with civil society organizations as part of a community participation initiative.

Governor Saber asserted the governorate's commitment to expanding green spaces while preserving existing ones to improve air quality and enhance citizens’ quality of life, considering this a top priority of the Egyptian state.

Furthermore, Saber commended the role of civil society organizations, stressing that they are active partners in the development taking place in Cairo. He highlighted that the foundation of success in local administration lies in the ability to foster cooperation between executive bodies and civil society.
