In this regard, Team Leader of Project Coordination and the Chairman of the Committee, Mr. Muhammad Hayati, affirmed the Company's keenness to benefit from the expertise of the UN Program, in order to enable the Committee to perform its role and develop its work mechanisms, so that its experience in this field is integrated to become a leading example in and outside Kuwait.
