Ali al-Hadi, Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry, praised the Ministry’s initiatives to support local industries and encouraged the private sector to take advantage of new opportunities and facilities provided by the government.
The meeting concluded with the decision to form a joint committee consisting of representatives from the Ministry, the Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and both manufacturers and importers of plastic materials.
This committee will work to develop stronger relationships between manufacturers and importers, and facilitate the signing of memoranda of understanding (MOUs) to enhance collaboration in the plastics sector.
The Minister recognized the plastics industry as a crucial sector that supports various industrial, agricultural, and commercial activities.
He noted the importance of both the government and the private sector in strengthening Yemen’s economic resilience, particularly given the country's current challenges.
