Commenting on her visit, Her Excellency the Minister said: It was a pleasure visiting today CNA-Q, which started twenty years ago with a Qatari-Canadian partnership. CNA-Q since then supported the Qatari labor market with its graduates who, in turn, contributed to the development of the national economy of our country. Today, I have seen the modern laboratories and I applaud the continuous development process in the college, which is aligned with Qatar needs for talents; especially in the fields of health sciences, cybersecurity and information technology.
