He stressed that Qatar’s celebration of National Day represents an opportunity to evoke the process of development and modernisation that was established by Father Amir H H Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani and led by Amir H H Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani.
On this occasion, the Ambassador praised the development witnessed by the Qatari-Tunisian relations, and said that they are exceptional and distinctive relations and are unique in their high pace of consultation, cooperation and exchange of visits, as the current year witnessed, the first visit of Amir H H Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani to Tunisia in February and the second visit of President of the Republic of Tunisia H E Kais Saied to Doha in November.
He noted that this confirms the State of Qatar’s commitment to support Tunisia and Tunisia’s keenness on its part to upgrade these relations to the level of solidarity partnership. He indicated that Tunisia hopes that the Tunisian-Qatari Joint Higher Committee, which will be held in Doha during the first quarter of 2021, will contribute to opening new horizons for bilateral cooperation in all fields.
The Ambassador also noted the active involvement of the Qatari private sector in this movement witnessed by the relations of the two brotherly countries through large investments in several sectors such as tourism, banking, telecommunications and others, which made Qatar rank second in the world in terms of foreign investments in Tunisia.
He praised Qatar’s exceptional response to dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic, as its approach succeeded in limiting the spread of the pandemic without resorting to a lockdown and by relying on deliberate interim approaches.
