Council Approves Establishment Structure for 11 Institutions

Mar 26 , 2022

The Council of Ministers approved a regulation to cement the establishment of 11 government institutions during a regular session last week.

The Council also looked into the structure of Mining Industries Development Institute, the Manufacturing Industries Institute, and the Artificial Intelligence Institute among others.

The old city...
