After that, Prof. Al-Wali gave a satisfied explanation of the practical measures that have been taken in the Council of Ministers to serve citizens, reviewing the political and diplomatic situation and the efforts made by the ministers and leaders of the STC, in addition to the visions and suggestions they presented to address service and living problems and combat corruption to improve the situation and alleviate the distress of citizens, affirming that the country is passing through crucial turning points and the consequences of the war still cast a shadow on various levels, and that it requires political acumen, diplomatic skill, concerted efforts, cohesiveness, and rapprochement, taking into account national, regional, and international interests, by virtue of our geographical location to get out of the bottleneck and reach the determined goal of restoring the state of the South.
