Jakarta: The Shura Council has concluded its participation in the 19th Parliamentary Union of Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) Member States (PUIC) Conference, in Indonesia’s capital Jakarta.

Deputy Speaker of Shura Council H E Dr. Hamda bint Hassan Al Sulaiti chaired the legislature’s delegation to the four-day event, marking the PUIC Silver Jubilee under the theme of good governance and strong institutions as pillars of resilience.

Dr. Al Sulaiti told the plenary session that Islamic parliaments must play a greater role in advocating for just causes, primarily the Palestinian cause, and defending Muslim peoples facing occupation and discrimination. 

She spotlighted Qatar’s continued diplomatic and humanitarian efforts to halt the aggression against the Palestinian people, in coordination with Egypt and the United States of America, stressing Qatar’s unwavering support for Palestinian rights despite the occupying entity-led disinformation campaigns.

Meanwhile, Al Sulaiti brought to the fore Doha’s hosting of international conferences and establishing specialised centres to promote peaceful coexistence and interfaith dialogue. She noted Qatar’s impartial mediation efforts that earned global confidence.
