Doha: Qatar resident six-year-old Aabel Roby Abraham can't stop beaming as he adds three more world records to his already existing one. 

Aabel, a Doha resident, has set three world records in International Books of Records for identifying all 198 countries by their map outline, being the fastest to recite the names of all countries in a musical way in 1 minute 28 seconds and identifying all 50 US state flags. 

The grade 1 student of Olive International School last year set the record for identifying 254 flags for all countries and territories.

A native of Kerala, India, Aabel's family includes his parents, Roby Abraham and Soumia George; his younger brother Aadam George and his grandmother Cicily George. His parents say that he is an active participant in quiz and spell bee competitions and has won prizes at many stages. 

Aabel's parents, in a statement, said that Olive school Principle HM and teachers held an award ceremony for him. 

His class teacher Akshaya Michael added that she was proud to have such a brilliant student in her class and hopes that he breaks many more records in the future.
