In the presence of representatives of the Arab League Educational, Cultural and Scientific Organization (ALECSO) and the Islamic Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (ISESCO), the Ministry of Culture and Sports hosted yesterday the Induction Days of the two organisations.

The event, organised under the supervision of the Qatar National Commission for Education, Culture and Science, aims to strengthen cooperation and coordination between the Qatari Commission and other organisations including ALECSO and ISESCO, and the means of benefiting from these organisations in developing and updating educational, cultural and media policies within the country.

The second day of the event will be held at Cultural Village Foundation – Katara to introduce the two organisations’ efforts and strategies and ways to cooperate and benefit from the programmes offered by them.

It established the Qatar National Commission to act as a liaison between UNESCO and the ministries and authorities concerned with the sectors of education, science and culture,” said Secretary General of the Qatar National Commission for Education, Culture and Science Dr Hamda Hassan Al Sulaiti.

In her speech on the occasion, Al Sulaiti spoke about the cooperation that binds the Commission with international and regional organisations, including ALECSO and ISESCO, and ways to benefit from these organisations in the areas of education, culture and media policies in the country.

In order to benefit from potential as a civilized framework for people around the world and the expertise in development, Al Sulaiti stressed the continuation in the distinguished relations between Qatar and these organisations, pointing out that the cooperation between Qatar and these organisations gave a positive impact through implementing a number of projects.
