The President's Office made these remarks while sharing details regarding a cabinet working session held on Tuesday. The meeting focused on providing progress updates on government development projects and discussing strategies to accelerate their implementation.

According to the President's Office, the meeting involved extensive discussions between Cabinet ministers and heads of state-owned enterprises.

The President's Office further stated that the President has instructed the Cabinet to expedite numerous stalled projects, following the implementation of solutions to address supply chain disruptions caused by the ongoing unrest in the Middle East.
