The Council’s efforts are further reinforced through close coordination with the Ministry of Investment and its initiatives to empower investors and enhance the investment environment, alongside the continued support of the Federation of Saudi Chambers for the business council ecosystem. This integrated approach helps strengthen opportunities for collaboration among investors, entrepreneurs, and companies on both sides.
The election of Eng.
