She added, “Some of these suspended laboratories suffer from age and delayed technology, while others have expired and there is no point in rehabilitating them.”[/size]

The Al-Qaim Cement Factory was also rehabilitated.”[/size]
[size=45]She pointed out, “The Minister of Industry also directed that the factories that there is no point in rehabilitating them should enter into partnership with the private sector, whether it is a local, Arab, or foreign private sector, on the condition of financial suitability, sufficient experience, and specialization, and be offered for investment through conferences held by the ministry.” “.[/size]
