Minister of State for Energy Affairs and President and CEO of QatarEnergy HE Eng. Saad bin Sherida Al Kaabi has affirmed that Qatarisation continues to remain a key strategic objective for Qatar's energy sector, and praised the sector's efforts to fulfill its commitments.

'On our 25th anniversary, I can comfortably say that Qatarization has grown beyond being a policy into becoming a transformative force that is enabling more and more achievements across our sector,' Al Kaabi said.
He praised efforts to further improve their Strategic Workforce and Qatarization Planning processes and to ensure that plans are aligned with each organisation's vision and corporate objectives. The minister also provided an overview of some of the energy sector's strategic projects and investments across the energy value chain, which require the development of a workforce that will help maximize returns on the investments.
