number of retirees who attended a meeting in the embassy building on behalf of
the retirees with Jordanian Ambassador Zaid Mufleh Al-Lawzi that lasted for
hours, and a number of the Jordanian community in Qatar attended part of it.
The
Qatari government decided to pay $1,500 to the retirees and book tickets to
them; in addition to the amount they received from the private company

government to solve the issue.

work for a limited period in the field of providing security and protection,
ending after the conclusion of the World Cup period.

coordinating with the relevant authorities to investigate whether contractual
obligations were violated by the private security company, to ensure that the
appropriate measures are taken in accordance with the law.

hosting of the FIFA World Cup 2022 is an achievement for all Arabs," the
spokesperson said, expressing the Kingdom's keenness to make the tournament
successful.
Voicing
pride in the
military retirees, Al Majali expressed confidence in the
