In this ministry, we contribute to building and serving this country, and every effort is appreciated by me and the leadership. “We are all involved in addressing any shortcomings, and your role as employees is to alert us to shortcomings, if any, so that we can deal with them. I have confidence in every employee, each in their position, to put forth their best effort. We are all in the same boat, and my office door is always open. I am here to listen to any grievances or suggestions, and to serve you and your interests.” She highlighted that Kuwait is currently serving as the presidency of the Gulf Cooperation Council for ministries of Social Affairs this year.
