On behalf of the Government and people of Pakistan, I extend my warm congratulations to His Highness Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, the Amir of the State of Qatar, and to the people of Qatar on their National Day.
Pakistan and Qatar share a close and enduring relationship built on shared values, mutual respect and a strong sense of brotherhood. Our ties have steadily grown in many areas, supported by regular engagement at the leadership level and deep people-to-people connections.
We value the leadership of His Highness the Amir, under whose guidance Qatar has achieved notable progress in development, economic diversification and humanitarian outreach. Qatar’s constructive role in regional and international affairs is widely recognized.
Pakistan remains committed to expanding its cooperation with Qatar, especially in investment, agriculture, trade, energy, labour mobility and technology. Our two countries complement each other in many ways and we look forward to working together to build an even stronger partnership.
On this occasion, I convey my sincere good wishes for the continued progress and wellbeing of the people of Qatar. May the friendship between Pakistan and Qatar continue to grow.
