On the occasion, Shukeir pointed out that the present board of the Chamber includes 5 women, which is unprecedented since the establishment of the Chamber. He called the elected chief of the new council Madiha Rislan and the administrative committee to work on expanding membership in order to embrace a larger number of leading women from across the country. Rislan for her part, stressed the need to engage women in the various sectors and consolidate their status in the national economy, while introducing an alternative approach to this effect in the framework of a greater integration and participation of women. The Council, according to Rislan, will present its vision to the ministries and institutions involved with economy on pending issues, as well as, its proposals for the development of economy.
