Dr. al-Rubai reviewed the ministry’s key achievements and the main activities it is currently undertaking.
He expressed his appreciation for the government's support—represented by the relevant authorities—and its cooperation with the ministry to reduce existing challenges and move forward with the implementation of strategic and vital plans and programs.
