The attendees praised this achievement, as Dr. Ammar Marei Hassan, a representative of the Ministry of Planning, stated: “We commend the efforts of the al-Abbas's holy shrine for being an institution that was able to enter this field with full force and was able to leave fingerprints in this field. We have noticed this clearly during our visit to its projects, where we found an integrated team working on the sustainable development goals. It was able to achieve what some governmental departments and some concerned ministries had not achieved in sustainable development. Thus, we salute the holy shrine represented by its integrated team that works to serve the nation."
