Doha, December 13 (QNA) – HE Ambassador of the Czech Republic to Doha Peter Chalupsky stressed that the coincidence of the Qatar National Day with the climax of the global sporting event FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, serves as a reminder of the importance of national identity, and a natural point of departure in building a truly global community of tolerant and responsible humanity.
In an exclusive statement to Qatar News Agency (QNA), His Excellency said that the key message conveyed through this year’s slogan for the National Day is the reminder of the need to overcome petty differences in pursuit of achieving sustainable development, particularly decent and dignified livelihoods for all, regardless of ethnicity, religion or life choices.
HE the Ambassador said the level and pace of development in Qatar are astonishing and inspiring, saying the combination of resources and the wisdom brings about extraordinary progress in Qatar.
The emphasis on economic diversification and long-term sustainability is especially important, His Excellency added.
On the bilateral relations between Czech and Qatar, HE the Ambassador added tremendous progress have been made in deepening bilateral relations, pointing out that Czech Embassy in Doha is now fully functional and the Qatari Embassy in Prague will most likely be opened in the first half of 2023.
This step will boost joint cooperation in multiple areas and help in finding ways to boost mutual trade and investments between the two countries, he added, pointing to HH the Amir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani’s visit to Prague in early October and the meeting between HE Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani with Czech Foreign Minister Jan Lipavsky in Doha.
