Geneva: The State of Qatar participated today in the special session of the Global Coalition for Social Justice, convened on the margins of the Governing Body of the International Labour Organization (ILO), currently meeting in Geneva.

The Minister of Labour, HE Dr Ali bin Samikh Al Marri represented the State of Qatar at the meeting.

In his address, His Excellency reaffirmed that the State of Qatar approaches social justice from a firm and longstanding conviction that it constitutes the cornerstone of stable and prosperous societies. He emphasised that Qatar is committed to advancing a comprehensive development model grounded in a knowledge-based economy, equal opportunities, community empowerment, and fairness within the labour market.

His Excellency expressed appreciation for the efforts of HE Director-General of the International Labour Organization Gilbert Houngbo in championing social justice, noting that it was one of the most notable achievements of the Organisation during the current mandate.

HE Dr Al Marri stressed that Qatar’s accession to the Global Coalition represents a significant milestone, highlighting the announcement issued during the Second World Summit for Social Development, hosted by Qatar earlier this month.
