Egyptian president Abdel Fattah al-Sisi has signed an official document presented by the Suez Canal Authority to open up the new waterway.
埃及总统阿卜杜勒·法塔赫·塞西签署一份由苏伊士运河管理局提出的官方文件,正式开放苏伊士运河的新航道。
"We promised, as Egyptians, a gift to the world and today we are fulfilling this promise in record time."
Sisi gave the go-ahead for the "New Suez Canal" project a year ago, and ordered it to be completed in just one year.
The project includes a newly-dug 35-kilometer waterway, which runs alongside the original 190-kilomter Suez Canal.
It also includes a 37-kilometer expansion and deepening of certian parts of the existing Canal.
"Within just one year we are providing the world with an additional artery1 for prosperity, another channel for connecting civilizations, to facilitate and enhance the movement of international maritime2 traffic, broaden the horizons of growth and enable the realization3 of the hopes and the aspirations4 of Egyptian people."
