General- Qatar 

 

Doha, June 11 (QNA) - Qatari newspapers highlighted in their Sunday's editorials an array of local topics, most importantly the successive regional and international acclaim of Qatar's role in preserving the rights of workers, which were reflected in electing the State of Qatar, represented by HE Minister of Labor Dr. Ali bin Samikh Al Marri, to preside over the 111th session of the International Labor Conference (ILC) which runs from June 5 to 16 in Geneva. The decision was made by representatives of governments, employers and workers who are members of the International Labor Organization (ILO).

The Qatari dailies also noted the economic indicators and the World Bank report which revealed the strong performance of the Qatari economy and its steady growth pace during the past year and the first half of 2023, as well as optimistic ratings indicating continued growth rates, noting that these economic reports contributes to attracting investors and foreign capital to invest in Qatar as well as investment portfolios and Gulf capitals.

In another context, the papers noted the training program on the certification and authorization of food handlers, which was launched by the Ministry of Public Health in cooperation with Qatar Chamber and Qatar Tourism, with the aim of obliging all food handlers and their supervisors at food facilities to obtain permits from the Ministry to practice their work, after passing the placement tests.

Under the headline "Qatar Pioneering Labor Reforms in the Region and the World", Al-Raya said that the State of Qatar strengthens its leadership in labor reforms in the region and the world, and affirms its constant keenness to protect workers' rights based on solid Arab, Islamic and humanitarian principles, and according to an insightful national vision that places the human and his development as a fundamental pillar of development and prosperity.

The regional and international testimonies that value Qatar’s role in caring for workers and protecting their rights come with deep connotations reflected in the election of the State of Qatar, represented by HE Minister of Labor Dr. Ali bin Samikh Al Marri, to preside over the 111th session of the International Labor Conference (ILC) which runs from June 5 to 16 in Geneva, the paper said.

Al-Raya also pointed to the UN recognition of the achievements made by the State of Qatar in the field of promoting labor rights in accordance with pioneering and unprecedented legislation and laws in the region, affirming the success of the effective partnership between the State of Qatar and international labor organizations and unions, and renewing the confidence of the international community in the credibility of Qatar.

It was not strange for the State of Qatar to be a pioneer in protecting and promoting labor rights in light of its outstanding humanitarian efforts in all parts of the world to provide relief to the afflicted and the needy, nor it was strange for the world to recognize these efforts in light of its pivotal and effective role in mitigating crises and defusing conflicts through dialogue and peaceful means, Al-Raya stressed.

In its editorial entitled "Stimulating Real Estate Investment", Al-Sharq newspaper said that many economic indicators, as well as the World Bank report, revealed the strong performance of the Qatari economy and the steady pace of its growth during the past year and the first half of 2023, with optimistic ratings indicating the continuation of growth rates. These economic reports attract investors and foreign capital to invest in Qatar, as well as investment portfolios and Gulf capital.

The recent real estate conference in Doha showed that foreign investors have become more confident in the Qatari real estate market, thanks to the comprehensive renaissance taking place in the country and the absence of investment risks related to investment assets and policies in light of the facilities and flexibility in procedures to attract more investors, the paper said.

Al Sharq believed that real estate investment remains an important element in the economic activity because it provides a significant infrastructure that represents the basis for the strength and development of the economy and its ability to resist and overcome negative repercussions that may occur at the global level.

Businessmen have made many recommendations and proposals, including activating the performance of the new real estate authority which is expected to put radical solutions to a number of obstacles, thus achieving a tangible boom in real estate investment, the paper said.
