DOHA The Advisory (Shura) Council has discussed a draft law to regulate investment by non-Qataris in the country's economy.
Chairing the meeting on Monday, Advisory Council Speaker HE Ahmed bin Abdullah bin Zaid al Mahmoud said this draft law comes within the framework of the state's economic policy, which is aimed at attracting foreign investment.
This is expected to have a positive impact on the movement of the Qatari economy, he added. The council referred the draft law to the Finance and Economic Affairs Committee to study it and submit a report to the council.
The Advisory Council also reviewed a request for a general discussion on food security. Council members stressed the importance of this issue, especially in light of the unjust siege imposed on the country.
The members said Qatar has achieved self-sufficiency in many products such as vegetables, meat, dates, fish, dairy, poultry and eggs.
Mahmoud affirmed that these important achievements were achieved thanks to the directives of the Emir HH Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al Thani, who has placed food security at the forefront of the country's strategies and development plans. (QNA)
