His Excellency opened the meeting by welcoming the attendees, thanking everyone for their efforts in following up the preparations for the Session, pointing to the need for teamwork, cooperation and integration between all committees, departments and divisions to complete the remaining preparations and enter into the final stage that precedes the Session by a week, hoping that each committee will finish its work a week before the Session is held, as the last week is devoted to arrangements and preparations for receiving the participants and guests.

Then the committees presented their weekly reports on the work accomplished during the last period, and raised to the meeting the difficulties and problems they encountered in order to find solutions to them. In conclusion, His Excellency urged all committees to exert their utmost efforts, intensify cooperation and coordination between them, and raise their needs directly to the Finance Department.
