The Ministry of Labour (MoL) participated in the celebration of Family Day in Qatar, which falls on the 15th of April of each year, along with other ministries, authorities and public institutions in Qatar.
The MoL lit its building green to highlight the importance of family, its pivotal role in development, and cohesion and the joint responsibility that all its members assume towards themselves and towards society.
The idea of devoting a special day for the family in the State of Qatar was mooted on the side-lines of the World Family Conference hosted by the State of Qatar and organised by the Supreme Council for Family Affairs in 2004 on the occasion of the tenth anniversary of the International Year of the Family. And in 2011, it was decided to celebrate 15 April as Family Day in Qatar every year. (TNN)
