Qatar Chamber chairman Sheikh Khalifa bin Jassim al-Thani led a delegation participating in the 37th meeting of the Permanent Committee for Labour Affairs in the Union of Arab Chambers, which has been held in Cairo.
The meeting discussed the agenda of the 47th session of the Arab Labour Conference, which kicked off yesterday and will run until September 12.
The Qatar Chamber delegation included board member Mohamed bin Ahmed al-Obaidli; engineer Naser al-Meer; director of Legal Affairs Abdulaziz al-Kuwari, and director of Member Affairs Alanoud al-Mohannadi.
The 47th session of the Arab Labour Conference, which is organised by the Arab Labour Organisation, will discuss a number of important topics, such as discussing entrepreneurship and small projects, the path towards sustainable development and empowerment, and a report on the achievements of the Arab Labour Organisation during 2019 and 2020.
The conference also includes the reviewing of decisions and recommendations of the board of directors and following up on the implementation of decisions from the previous session, as well as financial, planning, and budget issues. It also will discuss the impact of technological development on the work environment and the requirements of the green economy to provide job opportunities.
Commenting on the conference, Sheikh Khalifa emphasised the importance of holding the event in light of the precautionary measures to curb the spread of the pandemic. He noted that these measures had a significant impact on the business sectors in various Arab countries, which were partially or fully closed.
Sheikh Khalifa underscored the importance of Arab solidarity amid the challenges and negative impact of the pandemic. He stressed that the State of Qatar supports this joint co-operation “to achieve the desired Arab integration.”
The Arab Labor Organisation is the first specialised Arab organisation concerned with labour affairs and employment issues on the national level. The organisation believes in the importance of a concerted tripartite in the Arab world as a need and a core pillar for Arab unity and the recognition that co-operation in the field of employment is the best guarantee for Arab human rights for a decent life, founded on social justice, and the process of effective co-operation for developing Arab society on solid and sound foundations.
