He thanked the State of Qatar and Amir H H Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani for their support and positive role during recent regional challenges.

Chargé d'Affaires Rabbani ended the ceremony with heartfelt prayers for the peace, progress, prosperity, and solidarity of Pakistan. He assured that the Embassy and its personnel remain fully committed to the welfare of the Pakistani diaspora.
