Measure to facilitate movements of labor force between Qatar, Bahrain

Both Qatar and Bahrain achieved a new stride towards supporting their relations in a very important area which is the transfer of the Qatari and Bahraini labor forces between the two states.

Doha has witnessed talks which were the first of their kind between the minister of civil service affairs and housing in Qatar Sheikh Falah Bin Jasem Bin Jaber al-Thani and the Bahrain's minister of labor and social affairs Abdul Nabi al-Shaalah who was received by the ruler of Qatar Sheikh Hamad Bin Khaleifa al-Thani and reviewed with him cooperation relations between the two states.

Sheikh Falah Bin Jasem said that the talks with his Bahraini counterpart came within the framework of the activities of the joint committee chaired for the Qatari side by the crown prince Sheikh Jasem Bin Hamad al-Thani, while the Bahraini side was chaired by the crown prince Sheikh Salman Bin Hamad al-Khaleifa.

The Qatari minister, who described Doha-Manama relations as historical, excellent and brotherly, said that talks dealt with matters in the areas of labor, training and means of facilitating the transfer of the labor force between the two states in the context of the directives of the joint committee under the resolutions of the Gulf Cooperation Council GCC and the recent Gulf summit held in Bahrain.
