Hundreds of Qatargas employees participated in the special ‘National Day Celebration’ organised by the Company at its Winter Camp in the Sealine area on Friday. Members of the company’s management leadership team attended the celebration, along with specially invited guests.
Commenting on this occasion, Qatargas Public Relations Manager Mansour Rashid Al Naimi said: “This celebration has been organised by Qatargas to recognise the importance of National Day. This national occasion is a symbol of our dignity and reflects our happiness and pride in belonging to this great nation. This celebration is also part of our corporate social responsibility and represents our participation with the local community in celebrating national occasions. The event also provides an opportunity for Qatargas employees, both nationals and expatriates to celebrate Qatar’s National Day in the company of their colleagues and friends.”
The event began with the National Anthem. There was a special ‘Ardha’ performance (traditional sword dance) and a poetry recital session during which local poets recited patriotic poems. Special National Day gifts including flags and scarves were distributed at the event. Qatargas employees represent over 60 nationalities from across the world and this event provided them an opportunity to learn more about the history and traditions of their host country. Several expatriate employees came from Doha and Al Khor to participate in the event and express their happiness on this important occasion. The Peninsula
