Sayyid Fahd meets Shura chief

4 May 2021

Joint meeting of Council of Ministers and Majlis A’Shura discusses implementation of economic and social plans

Sayyid Fahd bin Mahmood al Said, Deputy Prime Minister for the Council of Ministers, and other cabinet members received members of the Majlis A’Shura Office, led by Khalid Nassir al Ma’awali, chairman of Majlis A’Shura, on Tuesday.

The meeting came within the framework of cooperation of institutions in implementation of the Basic Law of the State’s provision requiring the state’s institutions to continuously coordinate with each other, engage in fruitful dialogue and forge visions targeting the implementation of economic and social plans and programmes in tune with the best standards of performance.

At the outset of the meeting, Sayyid Fahd commended the significant role of Majlis A’Shura in coordinating with the government for the realisation of citizens’ aspirations.

During the meeting, emphasis was laid on the significance of the current period which requires rallying efforts to safeguard the gains of the comprehensive development march that covers all parts of the sultanate, as well as ways to address the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. 

The government places the Majlis A’Shura on top of its priorities as a basic partner in the nation building process aimed to implement domestic development plans. This is realised through ministers attending sessions of the Shura and discussing its draft plans and ministerial statements, as well as means of upgrading services rendered to citizens. The procedures include ministers responding to Majlis A’Shura’s requests to host government officials to discuss with them the topics studied by the Shura’s committees.

The two sides discussed the Council of Ministers’ approach to meetings in which governors’ host members of Majlis A’Shura, in turns, to update them about services and municipal affairs in their respective governorates.

The chairman of Majlis A’Shura and members of the majlis commended the constructive cooperation between the government and the Shura. They affirmed that the next stage will see more cooperation between the two side. 

The joint meeting agreed to step up social awareness about all that serves the citizens of the sultanate under the wise leadership of His Majesty Sultan Haitham bin Tarik.
