KUWAIT CITY, Jan 7:  Minister of Commerce and Industry Khalifa Al-Ajeel briefed the Cabinet on the field visit he made, accompanied by Minister of Public Works Nora Al-Mashaan, and Minister of State for Municipal Affairs and Minister of State for Housing Affairs Abdulatif Al-Mashari, to the new areas designed for mobile food trucks to re-organize and redistribute them through taking several measures to prepare new sites on an area of about 5,000 square meters. The step seeks to tighten control over these mobile trucks through continued checking and implementing immediate measures against violators to make a fairer and more sustainable business environment to boost service quality, Al-Ajeel said. He elaborated that the ministry supports serious initiators, entrepreneurs, and project owners who have committed to laws and approved terms.

The ministry is keen on protecting the owners of serious projects from any unfair competition or damage that may be sustained, he noted. The ministry cancelled over 1,100 licenses of mobile trucks as they were either inactive or failed to meet the required standards, he stated. Furthermore, the cabinet was told about the participation of Minister Al-Ajeel, Minister of Electricity, Water and Renewable Energy, and Acting Minister of Finance and Minister of State for Economic Affairs and Investment Sabeeh Al-Mukhaizeem in the 56th Global Economic Forum due on January 19-23. The event includes some sessions and workshops on boosting international cooperation and action to face economic, political, climate, financial and social challenges. (KUNA)
