Doha: The  weekly Cabinet meeting  chaired by the Prime Minister and Interior Minister H E Sheikh Abdullah bin Nasser bin Khalifa Al Thani yesterday discussed several topics and took decisions.

It took measures for issuing a draft law on exempting some contracts of Qatar Airways and Qatar Executive Charter from income tax, after reviewing recommendations of the Advisory Council on the draft law.

The meeting approved civil and commercial articles of the draft arbitration law and referred it to the Advisory Council. The draft law comes in the context of the modernisation of legislations to keep pace with expectations of the local and international business environment, and facilitate out-of-court settlement of civil and commercial disputes. 

The Cabinet also endorsed two draft laws on delineating the borders of Tompok and Sanei Al Hamidi villages. The draft laws were prepared to keep pace with urbanisation the villages have been witnessing and avoid their overlapping into the limits of nearby and neighbouring villages and towns, especially Al Khor City. 

The session approved a draft accord on cultural cooperation between Qatar and El Salvador and a draft memorandum of understanding to launch political consultations between Qatar and Panama. QNA
