HE the Speaker of the Advisory Council Ahmed bin Abdullah bin Zaid al-Mahmoud and a number of the council's members on Tuesday visited the Doha Metro project, where they were briefed on the work progress and the stages completed.
The Advisory Council delegation led by HE al-Mahmoud also visited the mega strategic reservoirs project in Al Thumama, and learned about the operational mechanism and modern technologies used in the project.
In press statements, HE the Speaker of the Advisory Council said what he saw during the two visits was a source of pride and confidence, and reaffirmed the ability of the people of Qatar to make achievements and turn ambitions into reality, despite the unjust siege imposed on the country.
He hailed the wisdom, the directives and follow-up of His Highness the Amir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani who adopted a sound and thoughtful planning approach in the conduct of State affairs, and a comprehensive strategic vision as a path to development, modernisation, achievement and securing the future for the future generations.
HE the Advisory Council Speaker underlined that the Doha Metro, which is considered one of the most advanced transport projects in the region and uses the latest technology in this field, is a great addition to the country's achievements, and sends a strong message to anyone trying to obstruct the development process in the country by marginal battles away from the basic objectives of building, progress, glory and serve the homeland.
HE al-Mahmoud also praised the mega strategic reservoirs project, whose first phase was commissioned by His Highness the Deputy Amir Sheikh Abdullah bin Hamad al-Thani last Thursday. He noted that the reservoirs project, which is the largest of its kind in the world, will provide the country's water needs in the present and future, thereby contributing to food security and water development requirements.
HE the Speaker of the Advisory Council expressed, in his name and on behalf of the members of the council, appreciation for the efforts exerted by the honorable government and its implementation of development plans and major projects to achieve the interests of the homeland and the citizens, with all efficiency and ability despite the conditions of the siege.
