The Shura speaker briefed the Council on the important outcome of the 140th IPU General Assembly, which was the most successful in the history of the Union, especially in view of the wide and unprecedented participation totalling 160 countries.
He highlighted the statements and resolutions issued by the IPU General Assembly, particularly the Doha Declaration on parliaments as platforms for promoting education for peace, security and the rule of law.
Mahmoud thanked the heads of the parliaments who came to Doha in recognition of Qatar, respect for its leadership, confidence in its policy and in honour of its people.
He also thanked the Executive Committee of the Inter-Parliamentary Union, the Governing Council, the president, its secretary-general and all its subsidiaries for their valuable efforts which had the greatest impact on the success of the meetings of the General Assembly and the associated meetings.
He also expressed appreciation to the parliamentarians who participated in the meetings and expressed their rejection of the illegal blockade against Qatar both in the General Assembly and in the gatherings held during the meetings.
The Shura speaker and President of the Organizing Committee of the General Assembly of the IPU thanked the government and all the institutions and agencies of the State which mobilised their resources and provided all the requirements for the success of the event.
He also thanked the members of the Shura Council and its staff for their performance before and during the IPU meetings.
He lauded the Organizing Committee for carrying out the tasks entrusted to it, as well as the local and international press and media which reported the discussions and outcomes of the 140th General Assembly, along with the volunteers of the Qatari Youth who contributed to the success.
