Ambassador of Italy, H E Paolo Toschi

The Ambassador of Italy expressed his appreciation for H H the Amir's continued commitment to diplomacy and mediation, as reflected in the constant dialogue with the Italian President of the Council of Ministers, H E Giorgia Meloni.

“Italy, like Qatar, remains engaged in diplomatic and security efforts aimed at achieving a just and lasting resolution to the Palestinian issue, with the shared objective of advancing the two-state solution as the only viable path toward peace and stability in the region,” he said.

Ambassador of Pakistan to Qatar, H E Muhammad Aamer

On behalf of the Government and people of Pakistan, I deeply appreciate Amir H H Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani's address on the opening of the First Ordinary Session of the Second Legislative Chapter of the 54th Annual Assembly of the Shura Council. H H the Amir's address reflected significant achievements of Qatar's economy and foreign policy over the past year as well as highlighted key policy targets for future as well.

Pakistan lauds and congratulates the State of Qatar over its outstanding continued economic growth coupled with achievements in environmental sustainability, development of human capital as well as reforms in social justice system. His Highness's emphasis on cultivating youth based on cultural and religious tenants is also praiseworthy.

Pakistan greatly appreciates the mediation role that the state of Qatar has been in resolution of global conflicts and issues in the region and beyond. State of Qatar became victim of aggression by Israel due to its mediation role in the regional conflicts. Peacemakers stood side by side our brotherly State of Qatar following these acts of aggression and strongly condemned such acts which are in blatant violation of established international norms. The UNGA unanimously passed a Resolution which condemned Israel's blatant aggression against Qatar.

The Prime Minister of Pakistan visited Qatar to express profound solidarity with the brother people of Qatar and also joined Islamic leaders to participate in the Emergency Arab-Islamic Conference. The bold and principled stance of His Highness the Amir regarding genocide of the Palestinians and the ongoing armed aggression by Israel in Gaza and sustained efforts by the State of Qatar for a permanent ceasefire as well as establishment of a Palestinian State is reflective of Pakistan's position on the issue.

Ambassador of the Republic of Kazakhstan to Qatar, H E Arman Issagaliyev

Amir H H Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani's address to the Shura Council was a compelling reflection on how nations can sustain stability and ambition amid profound global transitions.

The speech combined economic realism with a broader strategic outlook - one that places human development, education, and innovation at the centre of national strength.

In a world reshaped by rapid technological change and shifting geopolitical dynamics, such clarity of purpose feels both necessary and timely.

Qatar's own trajectory over recent years stands as persuasive evidence of this vision in action. The country has demonstrated remarkable resilience in the face of regional and global challenges, maintaining steady growth, a robust fiscal position, and a reputation as one of the most attractive investment destinations.

Its success illustrates how strategic foresight, good governance, and long-term social planning can transform scale into influence and ambition into stability.

These priorities strongly resonate with Kazakhstan's approach to economic diversification and human-centred modernization. Both nations are pursuing forward-looking reforms, building knowledge economies, and nurturing new generations capable of contributing to global innovation. The partnership between Qatar and Kazakhstan continues to expand across multiple fields in line with Qatar's National Development Strategy, reflecting a shared belief that progress must be both inclusive and sustainable.
