He added that the relations between the two countries witnessed a remarkable development, as Qatar participated in the international efforts to rebuild Afghanistan.
In a statement to Qatar News Agency (QNA) on the occasion of Qatar’s National Day, the Afghan ambassador said he considered this day the starting point of consolidating the pillars of modern state, adding that Qataris united around the State’s Founder Sheikh Jassim bin Mohamed bin Thani for his piety, courage, wisdom and sophistication necessary for leadership, in addition to loyalty to his people and keenness to preserve the unity of Qatar and its interests in the most difficult times the region witnessed.
The ambassador pointed out that in the face of the coronavirus pandemic, Qatar has been able from the first moment to track new Covid-19 cases, isolate the infected people according to the standards set by the international health organisations, and take rapid steps to treat patients, adding that Qatar has taken strict measures to reduce the outbreak, and in record time, all medical and health supplies were prepared thanks to the developed health sector, strong infrastructure, and the necessary proactive measures to confront the pandemic.
He said that Qatar was not satisfied with only fulfilling its responsibility in this regard, as it played its pioneering role through responding to the humanitarian calls to help the rest of the countries afflicted by the pandemic by providing aid to dozens of countries.
He pointed out that Afghanistan received a shipment of medical and health materials necessary to confront the outbreak of Covid-19.
The Afghan ambassador congratulated His Highness the Amir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani, His Highness the Father Amir Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani and the government and people of Qatar on National Day celebrations.
