QC Participates In International Labour Conference In Geneva

Doha, Qatar: Qatar Chamber (QC) took part in the 113th session of the International Labour Conference, which commenced on June 2 in Geneva, Switzerland, and will continue until June 13.

The Chamber's delegation included: Eng. Nasser Ahmed Al Meer, Advisor to the Chairman of the Chamber for Labour Affairs; Abdulaziz Al-Kuwari, Director of the Legal Affairs Department; Hamad Al-Marri, Director of Committees and Business Councils Affairs; Al-Anoud Al-Mohannadi, Director of Membership Affairs; and Mohammad Al-Mohannadi, Director of the Director General's Office.

In his speech during the conference, Eng. Nasser Al Meer emphasized that the State of Qatar believes that respecting workers' rights is not only a legal obligation, but also a humanitarian duty and a moral partnership with the world. He noted that, stemming from this belief and in alignment with Qatar National Vision 2030, the State of Qatar has taken pioneering steps in recent years-in cooperation with the three production parties-to develop the work environment and enhance workers' rights.

It has adopted a series of legislative and executive reforms that serve as a model in the region. Qatar has also launched numerous initiatives and implemented practical programs that place strong emphasis on fostering innovation and advancing entrepreneurship, particularly within the private sector.

He highlighted the importance of international cooperation in promoting economic and social development, adding:“We strive to exchange expertise and best practices with our partners around the world, convinced that our partnerships with member states and the international community are an integral part of our efforts to build a sustainable and inclusive work environment.”

Al Meer also praised the decision made by the International Labour Organization during the conference to upgrade Palestine's status in the organization from a“liberation movement” to that of an“observer state.” He commended the role of the ILO's Director-General and his efforts in achieving this milestone, which will remain a bright chapter in his professional legacy. He also acknowledged the efforts of the Director-General of the Arab Labour Organization and his follow-up on the matter.
