The Shura Council State of Qatar

 HE Shura Council Speaker, Hassan bin Abdullah Al Ghanim has conveyed his warmest congratulations to HH the Amir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani, HH the Father Amir Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al-Thani, HH the Deputy Amir Sheikh Abdullah bin Hamad Al-Thani, and to the Qatari people on the country's National Day.

Speaking to Qatar News Agency (QNA), HE Al Ghanim said the day serves as a reminder of the values laid down by the nation's founder and the efforts of successive generations that have shaped Qatar's modern progress. He described National Day as a moment to renew the country's collective commitment to loyalty, unity and pride in its national identity.

Al Ghanim noted that this year’s National Day slogan, "With you, it rises; from you, it awaits," — a phrase drawn from HH the Amir's 2016 address at Qatar University — captures the core of Qatar's long-term vision, which places people at the centre of every development effort. He said the message underscores the state's philosophy of empowering youth as key drivers of economic, social and technological advancement, and of strengthening Qatar’s presence regionally and internationally.

His Excellency emphasized that the National Day celebration reaffirms Qatar's attachment to its core values and reinforces the sense of cohesion between the leadership and the people — a bond he described as a continuing source of stability and strength. The occasion, he added, has become a "unifying national memory," honoring the sacrifices of the country's founders while renewing dedication to ongoing nation-building.

Reflecting on the achievements of the Shura Council, Al Ghanim highlighted what he called a qualitative shift during its first legislative term. He said the council's committees have worked extensively on core draft laws and the oversight of national strategies, aligning with Qatar National Vision 2030 and the Third National Development Strategy (2024-2030).

The council, His Excellency said, views these strategies as comprehensive national roadmaps aimed at enhancing service quality and economic competitiveness. He added that the council has supported legislation that advances economic efficiency, improves public services, and strengthens environmental and social development priorities. It has also sought to raise public awareness of parliamentary work and expand channels of engagement with citizens.
