The Minister of Local Administration, Eng. Badr Basalma, met with Mr. Abdullah Bajri, Head of Relations and International Cooperation at the National Network, to discuss ways to strengthen joint cooperation and develop the local governance system to ensure inclusive decision-making and efficient administrative performance.

​During the meeting, Eng. Badr Basalma emphasized the importance of transitioning from the concept of “accessibility” to “true empowerment” for persons with disabilities.
