Cabinet holds weekly meeting

His Excellency Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al-Thani convened the weekly Cabinet meeting on Wednesday morning at the Amiri Diwan. Following the session, Minister of Justice Ibrahim bin Ali Al Mohannadi shared the following:

The Cabinet reiterated Qatar's condemnation of the attack on the Al Mayeda LNG carrier in the Arabian Gulf, deeming it a perilous act endangering maritime safety and global energy security. The government maintains its authority to employ all necessary actions, per international law and the UN Charter, to safeguard its assets, vessels, and crews.

Moreover, the Cabinet cautioned against the perils of such reckless behavior, warning of the adverse effects on regional stability, the economy, particularly the environmental risks associated with targeting energy carriers, and the significant consequences for marine ecosystems and water security in the region.

Conversely, the government acknowledged maintaining its leading position in political stability and the rule of law according to the World Bank's 2026 Worldwide Governance Indicators (WGI), crediting the effectiveness of its institutions and legal systems under the wise leadership of His Highness the Amir, in pursuit of Qatar National Vision 2030.

The Cabinet deliberated on its agenda items, approving draft agreements for cooperation in humanitarian and development matters between Qatar's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Belgium's Federal Public Service, and a memorandum of understanding for diplomatic training training between Qatar and Colombia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The session concluded with the review and decision-making on three reports: the 2025 annual review of the Standing Committee for Industrial Zone Affairs, the outcomes of the GCC Committee of Ministers Responsible for Housing Affairs meeting in Manama (September 2026), and the participation of the Minister of Labour in the Global Coalition for Social Justice's annual forum (held virtually in September 2026).
