  "summary": "The National Planning Council recently hosted a discussion with the Undersecretary of the Ministry of Municipality, focusing on the country's digital transformation in municipal services and food security. The conversation covered efforts to strengthen Qatar's food security system, the Ministry's role in achieving the goals of the Third National Development Strategy and Qatar National Vision 2030, and the digital transformation of public-facing services through the Oun application. The Undersecretary confirmed that local markets have not experienced any food shortages since the regional crisis began, and that the Ministry now issues residential villa building permits within a day, thanks to artificial intelligence. Additionally, the Ministry has digitized nearly 29 million documents, and all requests received through the Oun application are prioritized based on their importance.",
