Within the framework of the weekly meeting, HE al-Ghanim briefed the council on Qatar's victory, noting that, represented by HE Secretary-General of the Council Dr Ahmed bin Nasser al-Fadhala, Qatar won the presidency of the Arab Association of Secretaries General of Parliaments (AASGP), in the elections held in Cairo.

HE the Speaker pointed out his speech during the fourth Conference of the Arab Parliament, before the heads of Arab councils' parliaments, on the UN Office of Counter-Terrorism (UNOCT) program based in Doha -- concerned with the parliamentary participation to combat terrorism, reviewing the activities and efforts of the office in this regard.
In a related context, HE the Speaker pointed out a document adopted by the conference, titled 'Parliamentary Vision to Achieve Security and Stability and Advance the Current Arab Reality,' which included a vision for the Palestinian cause and the crises of the region, as well as a number of topics of concern to the Arab world.
