For his part, Lamlas said that the importance of the port of Aden necessitates everyone to work as one team and address the challenges associated with operating the port.
The meeting decided to form a joint committee of the parties of the Land Transport Regulatory Authority, Social and Legal Affairs, trade unions and trade unions to develop an appropriate mechanism to address the problems and define the roles assigned to the various concerned authorities.
