The visitors were Dr. Hany Al Banna, President of the Forum, and Adnan Hafez, Director of Development and International Relations.

The meeting was attended by Faisal Mohamed Al Emadi, Executive Director of Relief and International Development Division, and Dr. Fawzi Oussedik, Head of International Relations and International Humanitarian Law.

During the meeting, they discussed ways and prospects of joint work, as well as new ideas to facilitate the execution of humanitarian operations. The participants emphasised their strong ties and looked forward to better serving humanitarian action and causes.  “It is a close bond that links QRCS and the Humanitarian Forum,” said Al Hammadi. “We have many years of collaboration on training, educational workshops, and conferences.

We also worked together on several projects, such as the Adahi Project. They took part in distributing sacrifice meat in many countries”.

He welcomed new ideas that can open up new horizons of joint action, in order to reach out to more and more poor people around the world. Dr. Al Banna commended QRCS’ local and international roles and expressed happiness with the deep-rooted bilateral relations, as both sides shared the same mission and goals.
