"It is also a manifestation of the government’s commitment to providing the best facilities for the people, especially in matters related to business entity registration, corporate law compliance and the implementation of transparent and responsible corporate practices.

"This initiative reflects the government’s diligent efforts to ensure that every aspect of business entity management is conducted with full integrity and effectiveness," he added.
