The celebrations taking place to mark Qatar National Day are an image of loyalty and a sense of belonging to the country, which is known for its generosity, security and safety of citizens and expatriates, Ezdan Holding Group chairman Sheikh Dr Khalid bin Thani bin Abdullah al-Thani has stressed.

Ezdan Holding Group is a platinum sponsor of the celebratory events being held to mark National Day, a move that consolidates the group’s keenness to sponsor all national events and stresses its eagerness to share the celebration of all occasions with citizens, according to a statement.

To celebrate the special occasion, the General Directorate of Civil Defence (GDCD) is holding - in co-operation with Ezdan Mall - a range of recreational activities for 10 days from yesterday.

The celebrations include recreational competitions for children, including a drawing and colouring contest, electronic games and other games for the public. Ezdan Mall will present prizes to participants in
cooperation with the GDCD.

The GDCD is holding the event in a specially-designed pavilion under the supervision of organisers and volunteers from the Civil Defence.

Meanwhile, Sheikh Dr Khalid said Qatar’s achievements are the result of the efforts of successive generations of perseverant and loyal leaders and the people of Qatar.

“We are all witnessing an important and stunning evolution on national economy indicators, making Qatar among the richest countries economically per capita and with the highest human development in the Arab world. Further, it is recognised as a high-income economy by the World Bank. The fabulous national economy contributes to improving living standards for the entire population,” he said. “On this auspicious occasion, we renew our call to all institutions to make more efforts for the advancement of our country and for the benefit of people living in Qatar.”
