In a step that strengthens fruitful cooperation between the public and private sectors and supports the path of urban and economic development in Kuwait, ALSalmiya Group for Enterprise Development, a subsidiary of Commercial Real Estate Company, announced the signing of an investment agreement with the Public Authority for Housing Welfare.
