Iran-Qatar Cooperation Committee convenes in Doha

The Sixth Iran-Qatar Joint Cooperation Committee meeting convened between Iran’s Ministry of Cooperatives, Labor, and Social Welfare and Qatar’s Ministry of Labor in Doha.
It set the stage for a new era in technical and professional cooperation as discussions deeply rooted in the shared vision of facilitating skilled Iranian labor and engineers to Qatar, according to mcls.gov.ir.
The meeting which was co-chaired by Iran’s Minister of Labor, Cooperatives and Social Welfare Sowlat Mortazavi and Qatari Minister of Labor Ali bin Samikh Al Marri underscored a mutual commitment to fostering growth and opportunities beyond borders.
The core agenda of the meeting revolved around not only the deployment of skilled Iranian workforce to Qatar but also the intricate exchange programs for labor inspectors.
A significant highlight was the decision to form a joint committee aimed at aligning both countries’ views on labor and employment matters. This move is seen as a strategic step towards implementing a memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed previously, laying down a robust framework for future collaborations.
 The seventh committee meeting, slated to be held in Tehran in mid-2024, is eagerly anticipated as a next step in this evolving partnership.
The backdrop of this meeting was the preceding encounter between the labor ministers of both nations in Geneva, in June 2023. There, emphasis was placed on the need for increased cooperation in labor, employment, and skill training, highlighting the strategic importance of Iran-Qatar relations.
This dialogue not only acknowledged the mutual benefits of collaboration but also paid homage to the support extended during sanctions against Qatar, showcasing a testament to the resilience and solidarity between the two nations.
