His Highness
Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani
Amir of the State of Qatar
Doha
Your Highness,
Please accept my deepest condolences on the passing of Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, Your Highness’s Father.
Sheikh Hamad will be remembered as an outstanding statesman, a visionary, and one of the principal architects of modern Qatar. He will go down in history as a leader who played a pivotal role in building the country’s prosperity and strengthening its position on the international stage. He was also a steadfast advocate of dialogue and mediation and one of the most influential figures in the Arab world.
During his reign, the State of Qatar underwent a profound economic and social transformation, becoming one of the world’s leading exporters of liquefied natural gas and a major global investor. The ambitious development projects implemented under his leadership contributed significantly to the country’s prosperity and to improving the quality of life of its people.
As Amir of Qatar, Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani demonstrated remarkable foresight, unwavering commitment to the achievement of strategic objectives, and a deep sense of responsibility for the future of the country and the well-being of its citizens. In all his endeavours, he was guided by a commitment to peace, stability, and development.
The passing of Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani is a profound loss for the entire Qatari nation. On behalf of the citizens of the Republic of Poland and myself, I extend to Your Highness, the members of the Al Thani family, and the people of Qatar in mourning my sincerest condolences and deepest sympathy.
Please accept, Your Highness, the assurances of my highest consideration.
Karol Nawrocki
President of the Republic of Poland
