He added that this cooperation is not just a one-off event, but rather part of an integrated strategy adopted by the state to empower young people to understand the surrounding challenges and fortify them intellectually and culturally. The university president pointed out that the role of the Popular Defense Forces is not limited to security protection only, but extends to build a generation aware of the values ??of loyalty and belonging, capable of confronting destructive ideas through the tools of science and knowledge. From this standpoint, universities work to support this vision, as they are the primary incubator for the minds of young people ,the Popular Defense Forces are the shield that protects these minds from unconventional threats. This integration is translated into practical action through seminars like the one we are witnessing today, which promote constructive dialogue between students and military experts and highlight the geopolitical dimensions of national security. There was a lecture entitled "The Geopolitical Situation in the Region and Its Impact on Egyptian National Security" by Dr. Nashwa El-Hawfi.

The President of Kafrelsheikh University appreciated the role played by the Popular and Military Defense Forces at various levels and their constant readiness to confront crises and protect the internal front. He commended the efforts of the Popular and Military Defense Forces in enhancing cooperation with Egyptian universities by organizing educational seminars that aim to raise awareness and develop a sense of nationalism among Egyptian youth ,especially university students, who represent the country's future and its true hope in building the new republic, stressing that the Egyptian people have always been the first line of defense against all attempts targeting the Egyptian state.
