Minister of Works, Municipalities Affairs and Urban Planning, Essam Khalaf, commended the support that the Kuwait Fund For Arabic Economic Development provides for different infrastructure projects in Bahrain. He expressed his wish for the co-operation to continue through more projects in the Kingdom. This came as the minister handed over a copy of ‘Salman Town Project’ book to Engineering Consultant at Kuwait Fund, Nasser Mohamed Al Sobe’i.
