Taking care of sustainable development goals (SDGs) and harnessing constitutional and parliamentary tools for the sake of their implementation are a permanent priority.

This was emphasised by Council of Representatives Speaker Fawzia bint Abdulla Zainal as she received yesterday Sustainable Development Minister Noor bint Ali Al Khulaif.

She commended the tremendous efforts being exerted by the Sustainable Development Ministry to achieve the kingdom’s goals, affirming parliamentary support for those endeavours. The Minister expressed sincere thanks to the Speaker for the meeting, praising the legislative branch’s support for government departments, hailing the ongoing executive-legislature cooperation and coordination to serve the royal vision regarding the achievement of SDGs.
