Prime Minister Mohammed S. Al-Sudani chaired today, Sunday, the regular meeting of the Higher Committee for Construction and Investment, during which the agenda items and proposed projects were discussed and relevant decisions were made.
His Excellency emphasized the need for the committee to work on reducing administrative steps and to continue enhancing the investment environment in the country.
