“This performance and continuous success are achieved through our efforts and commitment in addition to the strict protocols in place for us. We are also pleased to work on projects specialised in improving environmental conditions and water shortages, such as the Bahr Al-Baqar water treatment project in Egypt, which is the largest in the world and will provide a tangible contribution to sustainable development,” he added.
“We continue to focus on community engagement initiatives across many areas, including education, health care, and youth empowerment, and strive to enhance our positive impact across our societies.”
“We also maintained the level of our projects under implementation that we achieved in the previous quarter, which highlights our successful efforts in pursuing high-quality projects across the sectors in which we compete and strengthens our previous indicators,” he said.
