MUKALLA - SABA
Chairman of the Presidential Leadership Council Dr. Rashad al-Alimi received at the Republican Palace in Mukalla Wednesday the leadership of the Hadhramout Chamber of Commerce and Industry, chaired by Omar Abdulrahman Bageresh, and a number of businessmen in the governorate, in the presence of Governor Mabkhout bin Madhi.

The Chairman of the Presidential Leadership Council emphasized the importance of the meeting with the leadership of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Hadhramout, praising their humanitarian and developmental efforts amid the unjust war ignited by the terrorist Houthi militias with the support of the Iranian regime.

"We value the role of the private sector in alleviating the humanitarian and service conditions, especially in the education and health sectors, and securing the market share of basic commodities, and we look forward to doubling your investments in the various fields that are most needed amid the huge financial pressures facing state institutions," he said.

The President presented the financial challenges facing the government and their impact on the state's public financial position and its investment program, which has been suspended in many sectors, especially after the terrorist Houthi militias' attacks on oil facilities in Hadhramout Governorate.

He praised the support of the brothers in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, and their continued initiatives to help the government overcome these conditions.

The Chairman of the Council pointed out that the government is working on a matrix to support the capabilities of the local authority in Hadhramout Governorate, where the private sector is at the heart of this promising matrix, God willing, expressing his hope that this governorate will be a vital economic center based on its exceptional potentials and its ancient civilization heritage in the finance and business sector.

The President emphasized the state's keenness to maximize the leading role of the private sector in the development process, raising employment rates, economic recovery, and addressing the challenges it faces, whether in terms of maritime services or working with unified window systems to facilitate its access to services away from centralization and excessive bureaucracy.

The Chairman of the Presidential Leadership Council listened from the leadership of the Hadhramout Chamber of Commerce and Industry and businessmen to the priorities of the business community in the governorate, their honorable national investments, and the required support to facilitate their activities, protect industrial products and enhance their competitiveness.
