The visit of His Highness the Amir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani to Paris, just a few months after his visit in July, which followed the visit of the French president to Doha last December, shows our common commitment to our partnership, which will soon be raised at the strategic level, French ambassador Franck Gellet has said.

“In this regard, high-level visits of French officials to Qatar are foreseen in the coming year,” he said in a message released on the eve of the Paris Peace Forum.
President Macron invited the Amir to the Paris Peace Forum “first in the name of the very close and friendly relationship that binds our two countries; secondly, because of Qatar’s dedication to international law, multilateralism, dialogue and mediation; and last but not least, given the active role of Qatar on the international scene in support of development. We are very honoured that the Amir responded positively to the invitation,” the ambassador added.
