Qatar is keen to enhance its relations in all fields with different countries in Europe, Asia, Africa, North America and Latin America aiming at developing relations and creating partnership. Qatar is cooperating with all world nations to serve the interests of its people and ensure global security and peace. 

Qatar’s participation in all international events and meetings aiming at discussing and exchanging views on key regional and international issues is motivated by its strong belief that dialogue at different levels and communications are essential mechanism not only for settling differences but also to discuss ways to address challenges facing mankind and also development issues to bring about peace and ensure human rights everywhere. 

Amir H H Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani’s visit to a number of friendly countries in Latin America, including the Republic of Ecuador, the Republic of Peru, the Republic of Paraguay and the Argentine Republic, at the invitation of their respective presidents comes in the context of enhancing ties and boasting cooperation in different areas of common interests. Therefore, the tour is expected to witness signing of several agreements and memorandums of understanding aiming to enhance cooperation and partnership with these countries. 

Qatar’s relations with Latin America and its cooperation in different areas tell one of its successful diplomatic efforts that reiterate its keenness on strengthening cooperation and strategic partnerships with various countries of the world. 

H H the Amir’s visit to the above mentioned four countries start today with a visit to Ecuador which enjoys strong and growing relations at all levels with Qatar and linked by many agreements including, cooperation in legal matters, air services, trade, economic, technical and media. During the visit, H H the Amir and the accompanying delegation will discuss with president and senior officials ways of promoting bilateral relations and cooperation in all fields, and will exchange views on various regional and international issues of mutual concern.

Qatar’s relations with Latin America is growing constantly at all levels as H H the Amir visited Cuba, Mexico and Venezuela in 2015 followed by a visit to the Argentine Republic in 2016.

The State of Qatar has been able to overcome the unjust siege thanks to the steadfastness of its people and leadership which has left the siege behind and the blockade has failed to achieve its goals to isolate Qatar or convince anyone about false allegations levelled against the country. 

Qatar’s ties and cooperation with different countries and UN organizations is witnessing a breakthrough serving the interest of its people and taking initiatives to serve mankind everywhere which is a proof of its openness and commitment to build strategic, economic cooperation and deep-rooted diplomatic relations with various countries and international institutions.
