Underlining its commitment to contributing to the development of a thriving local talent pool in Saudi Arabia, Bahri, a global leader in logistics and transportation, participated in the ‘MiSK Values’ program launched by MiSK Foundation, a non-profit organization devoted to cultivating learning and leadership in youth.
