He pointed out that the launch of the diploma under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Mohamed Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, will contribute to fully qualifying members for parliamentary work, which heralds a successful parliamentary practice during the second session of the Arab Parliament for the Child.
