Deputy Oil Minister Ahmend al-Shamma acknowledges that giving all the power back to the Ministry of Trade is an obsolete way of doing business. For him, the country's renovation entailed the transfer of authority to the private sector and the birth prosperous partnerships with progressive countries.
