“Developmental activities will be a priority, while we will also focus on training and development of the trade personnel with a view to upgrading the service given to consumers. Other areas of focus will be promoting the exchange of ideas among trade members, and initiating new activities for promoting the retail trade.”
He added that the group would continue to liaise with governmental authorities in implementing various progressive new initiatives and would also try to provide legal advice to members, if required, for trade related activities. A number of sub committees will be formed to ensure effective and timely implementation of the committee’s resolutions. — (menareport.com)
