Qatar introduces new law to regulate drones
Qatar’s Cabinet has approved a draft law to regulate the use of drones in the country.
The decision was made during a meeting chaired by Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani.
The draft law aims to create a clear legal framework for drones to ensure the safety of air navigation and protect people and property.
It also outlines the responsibilities of authorities managing drone activities and encourages innovation and investment in this sector.
The draft law has now been sent to the Shura Council for review, the Qatar Tribune reports.
The Cabinet also approved a plan to identify key tourist areas in Qatar. These areas will be classified based on their unique features, such as historical sites, natural beauty, and climate with the ultimate goal of making Qatar a top tourist destination.
Additionally, the Cabinet praised two new strategies for economic growth: the Ministry of Commerce and Industry Strategy and Qatar National Manufacturing Strategy for 2024-2030.
Both aim to boost sustainable growth, develop manufacturing industries, and make Qatar more competitive in global markets.
The Cabinet also approved several international agreements, including partnerships with Turkiye on land transport, Algeria on air services, Oman on museums, and Djibouti on higher education.
Qatar further plans to cooperate with Paraguay on public prosecution and with El Salvador on security.
