Ammon News - AMMONNEWS - Prime Minster Omar Razzaz on Tuesday underlined the importance of the partnership between the public and private sectors in various economic domains.
Chairing the Public-Private Partnership Council meeting, Razzaz underscored the government's interest to forge ahead with implementing the partnership's programs.
He said such joint projects are pivotal to provide the infrastructure and services that are necessary for citizens "in a manner that will not increase the government's financial burdens."
The council reviewed the procedures and steps the public and private sectors take to implement the partnership's 16 schemes.
The council tackled challenges facing the execution phase, and made proposals to speed up the tender process, focusing mainly on top priority projects to boost growth.
In this regard, the premier said the council should be provided with a list of obstacles that hinder the implementation of the projects so that the government can address them.
