The cabinet sanctioned by laws of the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) and endorsed mutual agreements the country has signed with brotherly and friendly countries on joint cooperation, extradition of criminals and legal aid.
The cabinet approved a draft law to amend law number 47 for 1992 on the establishment of the Marriage Fund which deals with the Fund's objectives, duties, management, marriage grants and other regulatory frameworks.
