Prof. Nasser El-Gizawy, President of Benha University, announced the university's participation in the forum on the rule of law in the Middle East, organized by the Southwest University of Political Science and Law in Chongqing, People's Republic of China.
Prof. El-Gizawy stated that the participation in the forum comes as part of Benha University's commitment to enhancing academic cooperation and building fruitful scientific partnerships between Benha University and the Southwest University of Political Science and Law, serving the fields of scientific research, particularly in legal and scientific aspects of mutual interest.
He added that Prof. Essam Hosny, former Vice Dean of the Faculty of Law for Postgraduate Studies and Research and Professor and Head of the Department of Political Economy and Economic Legislation, participated in the forum with a research paper titled: "The Effectiveness of International Commercial Arbitration in Resolving Cross-Border Disputes."
