For his part, Mohieldin thanked Dr. El-Metini and all the faculty members of the inveterate Ain Shams University, which since its establishment has been rich with great personaliyies at the scientific and academic level, pointing out that Ain Shams University has been and continues to be building edifices of science since its establishment in the fifties of the last century.
Mohieldin stressed that the world today is witnessing multiple crises which represent symptoms of major confusions that cause economic and social changes within each country and between countries and each other, explaining that these confusions include population changes, climate change, unemployment problems, epidemics and diseases, confusion of major commodity markets, the Fourth Industrial Revolution and its effects, and the continuous change of the center of economic gravity towards the East.
“A New World Order is in the process, which pushes us to go east without affecting our relations with the West.” Mohieldin said, explaining that the current century is the century of the East as the last century was the century of the West.
