Qatar, Oman ink labour pact
Oman, a pioneer among GCC states, is conducting field studies on citizens empowerment, revealed Dr Sultan Bin Hassan Al Dossary, the Labour Minister of Qatar.
Dr Dossary was speaking during the occasion of signing an agreement on labour between Oman and Qatar.
Dr. Dossary said that his visit to Oman was in response to an invitation by Oman’s Minister of Manpower, Dr Juma Bin Ali al Juma, to sign the agreement and review the successful experience of Oman in training and providing employment to its national workforce.
Pointing out to the Sanad project, the self-employment programme for nationals launched by Oman, Dr. Dossary said that Oman is a leader in empowering its national workforce through well planned projects, such as Sanad, and offering vocational training.
Speaking about the agreement, he said the MoU relates to exchanging technological training, studies, expertise, visits and organizing seminars.
With 2500 Omani nationals currently employed in Qatar, the number is now bound to rise, with the signing of the agreement. Plenty of job opportunities are open for Omanis, who are specialized in technical jobs, the Minister added.
