Doha, Qatar: Minister of Labour H E Dr. Ali bin Smaikh Al Marri has said that the job nationalisation plan would be shaped through consultations with the private sector before being approved by the State Cabinet, stressing the importance of the private sector in Qatar’s sustainable development and economic growth.
