Al Kaabi stressed that QP is now a more focused, more cohesive, and a more adaptive corporation. “We are more determined than ever to complete that journey to become one of the best national oil companies in the world, while at the same time enhancing Qatar’s leading position in the global oil and gas industry. It is you who will make sure that we go there,” he told the honoured employees.
QP’s CSA Ceremony 2017 was held at the convention hall of QP Headquarters in West Bay, and it was also attended by the corporation’s Executive Vice Presidents, Vice Presidents and other senior officials.

During the event, Al-Kaabi personally congratulated each of the honoured employees as he presented them with a certificate of appreciation and a gift as a token of gratitude for their many years of service with QP.
