Doha, Qatar: The Shura Council convened yesterday at its headquarters, chaired by Speaker of the Shura Council H E Hassan bin Abdullah Al Ghanim.

Attending the session were several representatives from family-related organizations and centres, alongside a variety of opinion writers and individuals interested in social and educational affairs.

At the outset of the session, the Council praised on the success of the Second World Summit for Social Development hosted by the nation last week, emphasizing that this success clearly manifests the keenness of HH the Amir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani to deepen the nation's standing in support of global dialogue and promote comprehensive development.

The council welcomed the Doha Declaration issued by the summit, asserting that it represents a core pillar for bolstering social development pathways and realizing sustainable development across a variety of communities.

It further appreciated the terrific organization, along with the constructive outcomes, which underscored the criticality of investing in humans as the lynchpin of development and its aims.

The council pointed out that hosting this global event embodies Qatar's foremost attention to consolidating the human dimension of development and supporting global efforts to achieve a more just and enduring future.

Thereafter, HE Secretary-General of the council, Nayef bin Mohammed Al Mahmoud, read out the agenda, with the Council endorsing the minutes of the previous session and weighing in on the public deliberation request submitted by a handful of Excellencies regarding the significance of parents in upbringing.

HE Al Ghanim noted the comprehensive and rapid advancement the nation is witnessing in multiple fields under the prudent leadership of HH the Amir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani. He asserted that this development pathway aligns with Qatar National Vision 2030, which places humans at the center of development and its objectives.

This burgeoning development demonstrates His Highness's commitment to nurturing individuals who are capable of adapting to change and openness to the world, while simultaneously upholding their values and enduring national identity, His Excellency noted.

This massive advancement, though offering promising opportunities, reciprocally imposes a greater responsibility on parents in undertaking their direct educational roles, which have a profound impact on the upbringing of generations.
