Al-Roudhan paid tribute to Khaled Al-Shemali, the late undersecretary of the ministry, who was the first advocate for the e-government initiative.

The Ministry of Commerce and Industry will add more services to its one-window portal in the coming period, which will help meet the needs of individual and corporate applicants for services in shorter time, he revealed.

During the opening ceremony, the organizers of the forum granted the Ministry the special e-service award in recognition of its efforts to modernize and digitalize the public service. Minister Al-Roundhan, in turn, dedicated the award to the family of Khaled Al-Shemali who laid the groundwork for the one-window project.
