RIYADH: The Shoura Council will advise the Economic Cities Authority (ECA) to build partnerships with government agencies to consolidate work in the economic cities, according to a Saudi Press Agency report.
In its 17th ordinary session next Tuesday, the council will also vote on coordination of the ECA with concerned government agencies to address regulatory and administrative bottlenecks to help facilitate implementation of projects.
The voting will follow comments to be raised by council members on a report to be presented by the Committee of Haj, Housing and Services based on the annual report of the ECA for the fiscal year 2015-16.
Among topics on the agenda of the session is a report of the Committee of Transport, Telecom and IT (CTTI) on a draft agreement on air services between the governments of Saudi Arabia and Azerbaijan.
A day later, the Shoura Council will deliberate in its 18th ordinary session a CTTI report on the annual report of Saudi Arabian Airlines Corp. (Saudia).
