Finance Minister Salem bin Breik discussed with British Minister of State for Development Anne-Marie Trevelyan on Friday issues of mutual cooperation and aspects of governmental support to enhance the performance and systems of economic institutions.

He emphasized the importance of placing the economy at the top of the priorities for partners in the region and the world, as it is fundamental to the path of peace and alleviating humanitarian suffering.
Minister bin Breik also highlighted the need to design specific programs within international financial institutions that address the challenges and realities of countries experiencing conflicts, enabling them to access developmental funding, and ensuring that support is not limited to technical assistance.
