General Director for Housing Welfare Mr. Subhi Yousef Al-Mulla will be heading the Kuwaiti delegation, which will also include Hadi Al-Shalahi, Abdulmohsin Al-Bannai and Anwar Al-Hulaila. Nine ministers and around 400 officials and experts from 16 countries will be participating in the three-day conference, Yahia Al Kasabi, Jordan's Minister of Public Works and Housing, said in a statement. Jordan's hosting of the conference stems from its faith in the importance of exchanging knowledge, views, experience and regional and international policies on enabling access to housing, he added. The conference will conclude its activities with the announcement for it to become a roadmap that helps the member countries in setting their policies, renewing their services and meeting people's housing needs, which reflect in the sectors of construction, finance and direct and indirect ones in the housing sector.
