Kathmandu, Dec. 17

On the occasion of Qatar’s national day, its ambassador Al-Ansari reaffirmed Qatar's commitment to supporting Nepal’s aspirations for prosperity and deepening the bonds between the two nations.

Qatar marks its national day on December 18 every year to commemorate the unification of Qatar under its founder, Sheikh Jassim bin Mohammed Al Thani, under whose leadership Qatar became a single cohesive entity and unified country in 1878, the Embassy of Qatar in Kathmandu informed in a statement.

The Embassy organised a series of programmes to celebrate the day. Vice President Ram Sahay Prasad Yadav attended a dinner hosted by the embassy, where he extended his heartfelt wishes to the State of Qatar and its people, on Monday.

During the event, Ambassador Al-Ansari spoke about the strong diplomatic ties between Nepal and Qatar, which have flourished since their establishment in 1977. He praised the contributions of Nepali workers to Qatar’s development and prosperity.
