During the meeting, President Al‑Zubaidi received a comprehensive report from Minister Al‑Harizi detailing the latest developments in the ministry’s workflow and its affiliated bodies, highlighting ongoing infrastructure efforts in the capital, Aden, and several other governorates, particularly road maintenance and rehabilitation projects, and outlining the ministry’s forward-looking plans to promote and refine performance quality.

President Al-Zubaidi has ordered the rapid completion of road infrastructure projects linking the districts of the capital, Aden, with a focus on the Caltex Roundabout Bridge in Al-Mansoura district and the sea road, calling the latter a vital artery that unites the city’s districts, and emphasized the need for strict adherence to the highest standards of quality and transparency protocols in the implementation of the projects to ensure their sustainability.
