Qatar Chamber is participating in the 52nd session of the Arab Labour Conference, taking place in Cairo from September 13 to 20.
The Chamber’s delegation is headed by H.E. Sheikh Khalifa bin Jassim bin Mohammed Al Thani, Chairman of the Board of Directors.
The delegation also includes Eng. Nasser Ahmed Al Meer, Advisor to the Chairman for Labour Affairs; Abdulaziz Al Kuwari, Director of Legal Affairs; Hamad Ali Muaiql Al Marri, Director of Committees and Business Councils Dept.; and Ms. Al Anoud Zayed Al Muhannadi, Director of Member Affairs.
Organized by the Arab Labour Organisation, the annual conference convenes Ministers of Labour alongside representatives of the three tripartite production pillars—governments, employers, and workers—as well as regional and international bodies.
The conference agenda focuses on two main priorities: assessing the socio-economic impacts of climate change on the working environment and exploring the role of startups within digital transformation. Discussions will highlight how entrepreneurial ventures can drive economic diversification, lower unemployment, and foster sustainable job creation across the Arab region.
In a statement, H.E. Sheikh Khalifa emphasised that the conference serves as a pivotal platform for dialogue and collaboration among the Arab world’s production pillars, helping unify regional efforts to address pressing labour market challenges.
He noted that the current phase demands stronger joint Arab action and the exchange of best practices to build more resilient, competitive labour markets capable of adapting to rapid global shifts.
Sheikh Khalifa also stressed that, as a main partner in development and a key driver of investment and job creation, the Arab private sector requires stronger public-private partnerships, as well as supportive legislation and policies that foster business growth and create new opportunities for entrepreneurs across the Arab region.
