Commenting on the signing ceremony, that took place during the launch of the sixth edition of the Zubair SEC DSP programme, Musafir said: “We have a strong interest in the small enterprise sector. We believe that it can significantly support the growth of the national economy by diversifying the country’s sources of income and providing employment opportunities for the youth.”
