A sense of utmost pride and patriotism filled the air for every citizen and expatriate residing in Qatar. This year even more so because Qatar, under the wise leadership of Amir H H Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, has weathered the unjust siege in a very professional manner.
Qatar National Day is an occasion for its citizens to remember the achievements of their predecessors. National Day commemorates the anniversary of the establishment of Qatar by the late Founder Sheikh Jassim bin Mohammed bin Thani.
To promote national cohesion in society, Qatar National Day which falls on December 18 each year, is being held this year under the theme of “Ten years embraced glory and arts, obtained all excellence and manliness ... The path of excellence is difficult”. The celebrations highlighted people’s patriotism and solidarity for its leadership.
Qatar went on the paths of glory, achieving accomplishments, caring for rights, helping the needy, championing the oppressed, observing the right of neighbourliness, adhering to values and morals, offering the world a bright example of a safe and stable country capable of achieving the highest levels of development, and providing the finest quality of life for its people and residents.
Qatar’s celebration of its National Day comes as the country is proud of the glories of the past and proud of the present accomplishments that is filled with hope, optimism and confidence in a bright tomorrow and a future full of giving, building, renaissance and progress under the wise government.
The most prominent progress of the country’s accomplishments this year is the political, economic, military and defence successes achieved by its foreign relations and strategic alliances open to various countries and peoples with active and calm diplomacy based on mutual respect and common interests.
Qatar has been able to achieve tangible achievements in record time as a result of good planning and following a tight strategy in which all the influential sectors in the country are integrated. The State succeeded in overcoming the effects of the unfair blockade imposed for the third year in a row and after it became more powerful, preventive and coherent, and more self-reliant.
Qatar achieved the highest rates of economic growth. Major projects related to the 2022 World Cup are being completed. Infrastructure development in the free, economic, industrial and logistical areas has taken place, and the national economy has witnessed a great recovery with the opening of more than 800 Qatari companies in the field of manufacturing food, service and manufacturing industries, as well as the expansion of several industrial cities to provide land for more investment projects and promising opportunities in various sectors. Qatar has, over the years, preserved its historical heritage and cultural identity, despite rapid advancements on many fronts. Qatar National Day is an occasion of renewed loyalty and is celebrated by all citizens and residents alike to promote loyalty, unity, and pride in Qatar’s national identity.
