(MENAFN- The Peninsula) Doha: Shura Council participated yesterday in a parliamentary session on the first goal of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals, which was held by the Inter-Parliamentary Union via video conferencing.
In the session, discussions focused on the issue of poverty and the attempt to eradicate it by 2030, as there are at least 700 million people in the world below the poverty line, which is 10 percent of the world's population. This poses tremendous challenges for the UN as well as governments and parliaments and requires the enactment of many laws to reform legislation in many countries.
In the session, Al Shura Council was represented by Member of Council, H E Abd Al Latif bin Mohammed Al Sada.
