Ivonne A Baki, Ecuador’s ambassador to Qatar, attended a New Year celebration party on Friday along with members of the Ecuadorian community in Qatar.
The party brought Ecuadorian families together and was a chance to share inspirational stories about their stay in Qatar, as well as to enhance networking among them.
“I think everybody is good internally, everybody wants to do good for himself, his country and his family. We are all here for the same purpose, to share ideas, feelings and to enhance our unity and share happiness away from our home country. Qatar is our second home,” the envoy said.
The objective of the gathering was to unite all Ecuadorian community members in Qatar and the event was attended by more than 70 Ecuadorians living in the country and working in different sectors.
The ambassador expressed gratitude to everyone and stressed that such events should be held more frequently during her stay in Qatar. After she delivered her short message, a dinner featuring Ecuadorian delicacies was served, with special activities for children being hosted as well.
The ambassador also seized the opportunity to encourage the community to be in continuous interaction with each other and to register themselves at the embassy to avail of consular services offered by the mission to the community and be acquainted with upcoming events.
