Qatar's ambassador to China Mohammed bin Abdullah Al Dehaimi has been awarded the Gwanghwa Medal for Excellent Diplomatic Service in appreciation of his great role in promoting co-operation between Qatar and the Republic of Korea during his tenure as ambassador of Qatar in Seoul from 2014 to 2019.
The medal was awarded to ambassador al-Dehaimi by the ambassador of the Republic of Korea to China, Jang Ha-sung, on behalf of the South Korean president, at a ceremony held at the premises of the Korean embassy in Beijing, as ambassador al-Dehaimi was unable to travel to Seoul due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
This medal is one of five first-class honours awarded to civilians who contribute to developing their countries' relations with Korea.
Ambassador al-Dehaimi said in a speech on the occasion that the medal not only reflects the appreciation of the government of the Republic of Korea for the efforts made to enhance co-operation between the two countries, but also its appreciation for all the contributions made by his colleagues, the ambassadors of Qatar, to boost the Qatari-Korean friendship over long decades.
