"A Cultural Palace will also be established adjacent to the court site, with construction works to start in a few days," he added.

"A tunnel will also be built linking Al Manzel district in Al Mossala area to the mountain," he added.

He added that over a span of two years from now, the Khor Fakkan University will be built to replace Sharjah University branch in the city.

"Today we laid the foundation stone for the naval academy and we thank the delegation who came from Egypt and attended the foundation stone laying ceremony of the academy where study will start in five months."

The Sharjah Ruler also announced that developmental projects in Kalba City will commence starting tomorrow, with the construction companies operating in Khor Fakkan to move on to Kalba to embark on their mission there.
