JPM said the holding of the retreat is in line with the Prime Minister's desire to deliver his mandate to all Cabinet members and top civil servants regarding the government's direction and strategy for this year and in the medium- and long-term.

The retreat is aimed at achieving alignment of objectives and creating a sense of joint ownership and unity among Cabinet members on the government's integrated and comprehensive action plans based on the whole of government and whole of nation concept.

"This retreat programme is also aimed at strengthening synergy and cooperation between the Cabinet and the civil service leadership as well as enabling the implementation of these action plans with focused execution to realise the Madani Economy aspiration,” the statement said.
