Qatar to continue with development plans

(MENAFN- Gulf Times) The State of Qatar has affirmed it will continue its efforts to implement development plans and meet the requirements of social development at the national and international levels, despite the challenges it faces as a result of the siege measures taken against it.
The State of Qatar reiterated that the obstacles imposed on it would not deter it from continuing international co-operation to promote social development and expand partnerships for equitable and sustainable development for all, at the national, regional and international levels.
Addressing the Third Committee of the 72nd session of the UN General Assembly on Item (27) on Social Development in New York, Third Secretary at Qatar's Permanent Delegation the United Nations Al-Anoud Qassim al-Tamimi, said that the success achieved by Qatar in development, faces today a great challenge due to unilateral and illegal measures taken against the State by the siege countries.
Those measures cast a shadow over the State's development efforts and constitute a violation of human rights reflected in their harmful effects on the cohesion of the social fabric known for its association with the peoples of neighbouring countries, as well as the adverse effects of those unilateral measures on international co-operation.
Al-Tamimi underlined that Qatar pays particular attention to young people and their role in building the country and in their participation in the development process at the national, regional and international levels, through providing education, training and employment
opportunities.
