Doha: Ambassador of the Republic of Austria to the State of Qatar, H E Karin Fichtinger-Grohe (pictured) has described her country’s relations with the State of Qatar as friendly and close, stressing that she sees a lot of potential to increase the bilateral cooperation in culture, tourism, business, sustainability, to name just a few.
In a statement on the occasion of Qatar National Day, the Ambassador emphasised the importance of mutual visits in deepening relations, converging views, building positions and increasing opportunities for cooperation in all fields, pointing to the visit by Amir H H Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani to the Republic of Austria last year.
She said the schedule of visits between the two countries was busy during this year, but the situation caused by the pandemic and the precautionary measures imposed by governments to avoid the spread of the pandemic led to the postponement of many plans that were to be established between the two sides.
She said every country has a specific path that it has set for itself and its own measures to avoid the spread of the pandemic and to protect its citizens, noting that Qatar was able to deal with the pandemic at its peak during the summer months through the correct measures, noting that the success of Qatar in curbing the spread of the virus and dealing with it professionally allowed it to hold its National Day celebrations in a cheerful atmosphere, but also in a reasonable way.
The Ambassador extended congratulations and blessings to Amir H H Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, the government and the Qatari people on the occasion of the National Day, which represents the best opportunity to review the history of the state, its achievements, its development and future vision.
