The Shura Council has extensive parliamentary relations with international bodies such as the IPU, the European Parliament, and the Mediterranean Parliament, which enhance Qatar’s position regionally and internationally. The goal is to enhance Qatar’s relations and strengthen its influence on the global stage through diplomatic paths.
