Shura Council convened its weekly sitting Monday in Doha, taking up two pieces of draft legislation and receiving updates on recent international parliamentary engagements. The session was held at the Tamim bin Hamad Hall at the council's headquarters and chaired by Speaker Hassan bin Abdullah al-Ghanim.
Secretary-General Nayef bin Mohammed al-Mahmoud opened proceedings by reading out the agenda, after which members approved the minutes of the previous meeting.
The council debated a government-proposed bill to regulate the use of unmanned aerial vehicles, referring it to the Internal and External Affairs Committee for closer examination and to prepare a report.
Members also discussed a report by the Legal and Legislative Affairs Committee on a proposed law concerning property owners' associations. Following deliberations, members voted to return the bill to the committee for further study.
On the international front, the council heard a report on Deputy Speaker Hamda bint Hassan Al Sulaiti's participation in the 4th International Forum entitled "Women of the Third Millennium," held in Moscow in November 2025.
Members were also briefed on a council delegation's attendance at a conference on the role of parliament in shaping the future of responsible artificial intelligence, which took place in Kuala Lumpur the same month.
