Sana'a - Saba:
The Special Parliamentary Committee assigned to study the draft investment law continued its discussions on Wednesday, chaired by Abdulrahman al-Juma'i, Vice Chairman of the Council and Chairman of the Committee.
The meeting, which included government representatives such as Minister of Economy, Industry, and Investment Eng. Moeen al-Mahaqeri, Chairman of the General Investment Authority Yasser al-Mansour, and specialists from relevant authorities, focused on reviewing the articles of the draft investment law and its explanatory memorandum.
The discussion followed up on observations raised in the initial review, which were highlighted by Council members during yesterday's session.
Al-Juma'i emphasized the importance of finalizing the law to align with the changing phase of development and construction, particularly addressing the challenges posed by the ongoing aggression and siege.
He stressed the need to incorporate future-focused measures into the law to help overcome imbalances caused by external factors.
The committee underscored the significance of fostering local industries reliant on domestic production inputs. Promoting these industries would contribute to self-sufficiency, particularly in consumer goods, which would satisfy local market needs and encourage further investment in national production.
The committee is scheduled to continue its sessions, working to integrate all feedback and observations in collaboration with the relevant ministers.
In a related matter, the special parliamentary committee reviewing the draft law on medicine and pharmacy concluded its meeting this evening, also led by Abdulrahman al-Juma'i.
The committee discussed and approved the articles returned by the Council for further consideration, with the government's representatives, including Minister of Health and Environment Dr. Ali Shiban and Deputy Minister Dr. Nasher Al-Qaoud, in attendance.
