Shura Council Extends Mandates of Five Key Committees, Reviews New Draft Laws

The Shura Council has approved extensions to the mandates of five of its standing committees. The session was held at Tamim bin Hamad Hall.

The extensions aim to ensure that each committee continues its vital legislative role without disruption. These standing bodies help address issues that require deep analysis and steady oversight.

The first was a bill concerning lost property and unclaimed money. The second bill involved proposed amendments to Law No. 7 of 2021, which governs the Shura Council.

These steps reflect the council’s ongoing efforts in enhancing legislative oversight and cooperation. This key phrase resonated throughout the session.

Toward the end of the meeting, Speaker Al Ghanim shared highlights from his recent visit to Saudi Arabia. He led a Qatari parliamentary delegation. The visit took place on April 22 and 23, focusing on boosting parliamentary ties between Qatar and Saudi Arabia.

He described the visit as a strong step toward deeper cooperation between the two countries. Discussions with Saudi counterparts emphasized the importance of strategic coordination and mutual development in legislative matters.

Speaker Al Ghanim affirmed that joint parliamentary work remains essential in fostering institutional growth across the Gulf region.

As the session concluded, members agreed that the council’s proactive engagement in regional diplomacy and legislative refinement supports long-term national goals. The recurring theme of enhancing legislative oversight and cooperation clearly reflects Qatar’s commitment to good governance and partnership within the GCC.
