Ministers urged to ‘adopt’ Vision 2035 projects

KUWAIT: Former Municipal Council member Ali Al-Moussa has asked for a follow up on the Kuwait new structural plan dubbed ‘Kuwait Vision 2035,’ and having future projects reviewed by an international advisor. He also thanked First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defense Sheikh Nasser Sabah AlAhmad Al-Sabah for adopting the 2035 vision “which is expected to make a substantial shift in the country because of the mega development projects it includes.”

Moussa said that a primary study on developing five of Kuwait’s islands showed that the project would create over 200,000 non-oil job opportunities

and make over KD 35 billion in revenues, which is unprecedented in terms of solving the problem of Kuwaiti youth’s unemployment. He added that the Supreme Council for Planning and Development would highlight the best channels to put the 2035 vision into practice in all fields including education, health, environment and various forms of competitiveness.

Moussa stressed that the new vision has many advantages, namely economic ones “which will help create sources of income instead of solely relying on oil.” He added that the vision also opens doors for international trade development through signing a strategic partnership agreement with China on building the Silk Road. He urged various officials to pass laws pertaining with the vision and adopt its projects.
