Additionally, it aims to create working groups for sharing security information, fostering technical and financial incentives for trade, and promoting best practices for economic development. Overall, the resolution seeks to stimulate investment and trade between Alabama and the Port of Bar, benefiting both parties through enhanced international cooperation.
