The mission was also informed about other steps to enhance judicial performance, such as increasing the number of expert judges not only in the Supreme Court but also in the Supreme Court, the introduction of numerous tribunals, especially in tax cases, and the effect of solving complex issues through alternative disputes.

Regarding the implementation of the agreement, the mission was informed that, despite the delays due to the inability of the procedure, the government is trying its best to provide a conducive environment directly to attract foreign investment and secure them, and special courts and benchs are being introduced to decide these issues.
