SANAA, July 24 (YPA) – President of the Supreme Political Council, Mahdi al-Mashat, on Tuesday discussed with Minister of Telecommunications and Information Technology, Mosfir al-Numair, the telecommunication sector’s five-year plan.

In the meeting, the president stressed that the ministry’s five-year plan should be in harmony with the plans of the General Telecommunications Corporation and its subsidiaries.
