It is a clear call to all of us, to stand together to face and conquer any and all challenges to ensure the continued rise and prosperity of our beloved Qatar, QFC chief executive Yousuf Mohamed al-Jaida said.
These last six months have been the perfect example of how the country can overcome any barriers when it stands united in front of challenges, he added.

The strength, loyalty and patriotism demonstrated this year, in response to the tumult of the past months, has been inspiring and uplifting for all of us.
