Qatar participated Monday in the 8th meeting of the Committee of the Ministers of Labour of GCC states, in the Saudi capital, Riyadh. Qatar's delegation to the meeting was headed by HE the Minister of Labour Dr Ali bin Saeed al-Marri. During the meeting, the ministers discussed the topics related to the fields of labour in the GCC states, and reviewed aspects of co-operation, and ways to support and develop them during the upcoming period. They decided to assign a team to set a holistic framework for the topics related to the countries sending domestic workers, recruitment costs and regulate the operation mechanism of recruitment offices.
They lauded Qatar's hosting of the 2022 World Cup, considering that Qatar's organisation of the largest tournament in the world is a pride for the countries of the region. They also hailed the efforts made by Qatar over the past years to improve the conditions of workers and protect them and achieve balance between the production parties. They approved the proposition laid out by Qatar to launch the Doha initiative for dialogue between the GCC states and West Asian countries with African countries.
The Doha initiative comes to open the prospects of dialogue between Gulf states and West Asia with African countries within the framework of diversifying the sources of recruitment of expatriate workers and opening new markets to ensure the labour market stabilisation in the Gulf region. On the sidelines of the committee's meeting, the General Takaful Company and RKH Qitarat were honoured as two leading Qatari companies in the field of replacing and localising jobs in the private sector.
