SHARJAH, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News / WAM - 26th Jan, 2025) The Sharjah Consultative Council (SCC) has recommended that the Sharjah Ports, Customs and Free Zones Authority intensify its efforts to bolster the national economy and foster an investment-friendly environment. The recommendation emphasises aligning the authority's operations with the highest international standards.

They highlighted the importance of aligning the Authority’s framework with developmental goals and strengthening Sharjah's position as a strategic investment hub in international economic forums.
