Employees of Qatar Islamic Bank (QIB) celebrated this year’s Qatar National Day with a large family celebration. |
The celebrations included Arda, a Qatari outfit contest showcasing the traditional attire and a photography contest for staff.
The photography contest was aimed at encouraging talented employees to put their skills and artistic abilities on display by taking pictures that depict life in Qatar. Five winners for the best submitted photographs were announced during the event and awarded gifts in appreciation of their contribution.
QIB Group CEO Bassel Gamal said the bank was proud to involve all its staff members in the National Day celebrations. “QIB is the golden sponsor of Qatar’s National Day celebrations across the country. By encouraging our employees’ participation, it gives them an opportunity to reaffirm QIB’s commitment towards Qatar, the land of benevolence and compassion,” he stressed.
“Qatar’s National Day is not just a date for Qatari nationals to celebrate; it is an inclusive event for all our staff, whatever their nationality, to celebrate an international bond across all boundaries. The holiday means a lot to our dignity as a people and we are honoured to mark this special day. In light of this, QIB actively promotes interaction with the community in addition to numerous social activities and initiatives that serve to benefit the community, here in Qatar,” he added. “On the occasion of National Day, I would, on behalf of the bank, like to send greetings and congratulations to both HH the Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani and HH the Father Emir Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani.
“QIB is keen to show that our corporate responsibility to the Qatari society is always our top priority and that the spirit of the Qatar National Day celebrations reaches out not just to Qatari nationals, but to all expatriates in the country as well.”
