Emir H H Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani will patronise the opening of the 46th ordinary session of the Advisory Council today at the Council's Headquarter.
H H the Emir will inaugurate the new session with a comprehensive speech addressing a number of the most prominent local, Arab and international issues and the current and future policies of the State at the internal and external levels, as well as plans to carry out projects and reforms during the new year, QNA reported.
The Council will begin its 46th session, continuing its constructive role in carrying out its tasks and duties set by the Constitution in the field of developing legislation and laws in response to Qatar's national requirements for economic and social development and in assisting the government with good views on the implementation of its annual and future plans.
A week before the start of the new session, the Emir issued a decree renewing the membership of some members of the Advisory Council and appointing 28 new members. It is clear that the Emiri Decree appointing 28 new members was an affirmation of the keenness on supporting the Council with new distinct national cadres and expertise that have assumed or hold senior positions in the State in many sectors in order to enrich the role of the Advisory Council, and to respond to the needs of the next phase, including the adoption of legislation needed by the country, such as the electoral law and electoral system, during the next two sessions of the Council, which was extended to three years, beginning from July 1, 2016 and ending on June 30, 2019. The Emiri decision also included for the first time the appointment of four Qatari women: Dr Hessa Sultan Al Jaber, Dr Ayesha Yousif Al Mannai, Dr Hind Abdulrahman Al Muftah and Reem Mohammed Al Mansouri.
There is no doubt that this appointment, although its first objective is to enrich the Council's march and activate its role to suit the exceptional circumstances, is also a new affirmation of the leadership's belief in the important role of Qatari women and their contribution to the nation's development. The appointment also reflects the wise leadership's support for the ambitions of Qatari women and enhancing their status at all levels.
