Hundreds of employees participated in a special National Day celebration organised by Qatar Shell last week. |
Two events took place on the occasion - one at the Pearl GTL plant in Ras Laffan Industrial City and another at its Doha HQ.
The event included a series of talks on culture, heritage, the ruling family and Qatar’s future, including Qatar National Vision 2030. These talks were presented by Qatari staff to educate their colleagues on various aspects of Qatari culture. In addition, there was a specially catered traditional meal.
The celebrations also included a traditional room with different activities, including falconry, henna artists and traditional poetry recital sessions, during which local poets recited
patriotic poems.
There was also a cinema room, where participants had the opportunity to enjoy old films on the history of Qatar and the oil and gas sector in the country. Special National Day gifts such as flags and scarves were distributed at the event.
Sheikh Thani bin Thamer al-Thani, deputy managing director, Qatar Shell, said: “We celebrate National Day with great pride in the accomplishments of HH the Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani and HH the Father Emir Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani in the development of Qatar. This national occasion is a symbol of our pride and is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate our heritage and our culture as we reflect on our past, celebrate our present and aspire to our future.
“At Qatar Shell, we are very proud that the dedication and commitment of all our employees enables us to continually support Qatar National Vision 2030 and we continually strive to be the partner of choice for this great country.”
