The Shura Council on Monday reviewed the report of the Services and Public Utilities Committee on the briefing presented to the Council by President of Planning and Statistics Authority Dr Saleh bin Mohammed Al Nabit on the State’s efforts regarding the Qatar National Vision (QNV) 2030 and the challenges it faces.
At the beginning of the meeting chaired by Shura Speaker HE Ahmed bin Abdullah bin Zaid Al Mahmoud via videoconferencing, the Council praised the tireless efforts of the Amir His Highness Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani to elevate the nation and its pride in a way that guarantees the continuation of the welfare of citizens for generations to come, particularly the development and implementation of the Qatar National Vision 2030.
From the standpoint of compatibility and complementarity between the role of the Council and the government in exerting various efforts that would advance and elevate the nation, and in light of the information provided by Dr Nabit, the Council approved a number of recommendations and decided to refer them to the government with the aim of cooperating in the efforts made to achieve the national vision and to overcome any obstacles it may face.
In its recommendations, the Council called for more coordination between the Planning and Statistics Authority and the relevant ministries and government agencies to reach the desired goals of the Qatar National Vision 2030, so that this coordination leads to overcoming obstacles that hinder the achievement of some of the goals of the vision.
Shura also called for the continuous follow-up and evaluation of the programmes included in the vision that are implemented by the relevant ministries and government agencies to ensure the achievement of the desired results and to provide more necessary and needed data and statistics by the Planning and Statistics Authority for the entities that request it in order to achieve the vision’s goals.
The Council affirmed the achievement of the goals of the four pillars of the vision: human, social, economic and environmental development on time, with a focus on the human development pillar of developing national human competencies in terms of scientific disciplines with high competence, so as to fill the shortage of such specialisations to work in the government sector and others.
These goals are also achieved by paying attention to the protection of the Qatari family, by addressing the causes leading to the high rate of divorce and finding solutions to overcome material obstacles to those who are about to marry.
Shura also stressed on the need to address the imbalance in the demographic composition between citizens and expatriates by rationalising the recruitment of workers whose increase has negatively affected society economically and socially so that a greater rate of highly specialised technical labour is used.
The Shura speaker then briefed the Council on his participation and the accompanying delegation in the work of the 142nd General Assembly of the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) and his speech to the Assembly on the most important current issues at the regional and international levels, especially the Palestinian issue and coronavirus pandemic.
He also briefed the Council on the content of the written message he had received from Speaker of the Turkish Grand National Assembly of Turkey Mustafa Sentop during his meeting on Sunday with Head of Turkish Grand National Assembly’s Foreign Affairs Committee Akif Cagatay and his accompanying delegation.
