KUWAIT: The Minister of Social Affairs and Labor(MSAL), Mohammad Al-Afasi plans to work toward reducing excessive dependence on expatriate manpower.

The Minister Dr Mohammad Al-Afasi was speaking following the inauguration of the Kuwaiti Humanitarian and Charity Work Forum. He asserted on the importance of the contributions made by charitable trusts in society.
