Minister of Industry, Farid Kourtel, hosted a delegation from Tirsam, a company specializing in the production of industrial and agricultural equipment. The meeting focused on reviewing the progress of the company's existing investments and the levels of local integration achieved. The discussion also explored the potential for expanding operations into the passenger vehicle sector, either by scaling the current project or initiating a new one, as the company is currently negotiating with global manufacturers. During the talks, the Minister emphasized the necessity of boosting local integration rates and strengthening the national subcontracting network to support domestic industry and help reduce the nation's import bill.
