Jakarta:During a meeting with local media representatives, HE Secretary-General of the Shura Council Nayef bin Mohammed Al Mahmoud emphasized efforts by the General Secretariat to enhance the Shura Council's legislative and oversight capabilities. This includes developing legal competencies and improving coordination with the Council of Ministers to support the Council's role within its mandate.
According to Qatar News Agency, the General Secretariat aims to boost collaboration locally and internationally through agreements and memoranda of understanding (MoUs) focused on training, professional development, and knowledge exchange. Notable agreements include MoUs with the Civil Service and Government Development Bureau, the Diplomatic Institute at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Qatar News Agency, the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology, the National Cyber Security Agency, and the State Audit Bureau.
The Secretariat has also organized international visits for staff to learn from other legislative bodies and has hosted delegations to share the Shura Council's experiences. These initiatives are guided by a clear vision to develop skilled personnel and prepare national talent for leadership roles.
HE Al Mahmoud also highlighted plans to enhance community engagement by inviting various societal representatives to Council sessions, reflecting a commitment to public involvement. The forthcoming launch of Al Shura magazine and a revamped website with interactive tools aims to further engage the public and provide insights into the legislative process.
Efforts to strengthen media relations are ongoing, with the Media Office maintaining regular contact with media outlets to keep the public informed about the Council's work. The General Secretariat's initiatives align with the country's leadership directives and aim to support the Shura Council's effective functioning.
