Doha: Speaker of the Shura Council HE Hassan bin Abdullah Al Ghanim affirmed that the State of Qatar's hosting of the Second World Summit on Social Development reflects the wise directives of HH the Amir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani and extends the country's long-standing approach to strengthening the social dimension of sustainable development.

His Excellency emphasized Qatar's commitment to investing in people and institutions as a firm national priority, one that translates into fair and sustainable policies, referring to HH the Amir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani's recent address at the opening of the current Shura Council session, which described human capital as the true wealth of any nation, and underscored that developing education, training, and the skills of national cadres form the foundation for future growth.

HE the Speaker said the Shura Council plays an active role in supporting the country's social development by debating legislation, making recommendations, and monitoring the implementation of national plans, with a particular focus on education, health, youth empowerment, and women's participation, all pillars of any social and economic renaissance.

He made the remarks during the Parliamentary Forum titled "Investing in People and Institutions: The Role of Parliamentarians in Social Development," organized by the Inter-Parliamentary Union in cooperation with the Shura Council as part of the Second World Summit for Social Development proceedings.

His Excellency said the forum reflects Qatar's commitment to fostering global dialogue on human development and inclusion.
