Doha: Minister of Communications and Information Technology H E Mohammed bin Ali Al Mannai said Qatar’s National Day embodies the connotations, values, and principles that the Qatari nation cherishes, and it is an occasion to emphasise the importance of loyalty and unity among all people of the country. 

In a statement to Qatar News Agency (QNA), he extended his greetings to Amir H H Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, Father Amir H H Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, Deputy Amir H H Sheikh Abdullah bin Hamad Al Thani, and the honourable Qatari nation, on the occasion of the National Day. 

“On this national occasion, I pray to God to grant our country prosperity, security, and stability, hoping that the State of Qatar will achieve more in all fields,” the Minister said.

He pointed out that this year’s slogan for the National Day (Our Unity Source of Our Strength) embodies all the noble and sincere meanings that reflect the secret of our country’s development. 

“The success of the development journey witnessed by the State of Qatar lies in our solidarity, as we stand together proud of our identity and rich history. Following the path of the founder Sheikh Jassim bin Mohammed bin Thani (may God rest his soul in peace), we bear the responsibility of protecting the country. We renew the pledge to serve our dear homeland, maintain its position among developed countries, and reinforce the values of loyalty and allegiance towards our wise leadership,” the Minister added.

“On such an occasion, we must be proud that God has gifted the State of Qatar with wise leaders who have been loyal to their country and their citizens since the era of the founder Sheikh Jassim bin Mohammed bin Thani (may God rest his soul in peace). Since then, and until now under the wise leadership of Amir H H Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, our country has witnessed one achievement after the other. Our blessed journey embraces the success rooted in our values and principles, which helped us achieve sustainable development,” HE said. 

The Minister considered that the coincidence of our country’s celebrations of the National Day in December with the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 is an appropriate opportunity to introduce the whole world to our country’s culture, rich heritage, and noble values, as the World Cup event will make Qatar the focus of the world’s attention, and thus everyone will know about our achievements and the development that our country is witnessing. 

“With the celebration of the National Day this year, we celebrate all the achievements we accomplished over the past year,” he said, adding that it is also an occasion to confirm that the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology is working hard to enhance the ICT sector in Qatar under the directives of H H the Amir, as per the strategy that achieves Qatar National Vision 2030. 

The Minister of Communications and Information Technology extended his sincere gratitude and appreciation to Amir H H Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani for all his support in developing the country’s sectors and achieving Qatar National Vision.
