Sheikh Tamim and King Philippe discuss regional matters ahead of World Summit for Social Development
As-salamu alaykum - Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al‑Thani, the Emir of Qatar, and King Philippe of Belgium met at the Amiri Diwan in Doha to reaffirm their countries’ commitment to deepening friendship and cooperation across multiple areas.
They talked about regional issues and Qatar’s efforts to promote peace locally and around the world. King Philippe is in Doha to take part in the second World Summit for Social Development, which starts Tuesday. The summit - a UN gathering - focuses on practical ways to reduce poverty, tackle inequality, and promote social inclusion.
Sheikh Tamim highlighted Qatar’s wish to strengthen ties with Belgium for the benefit of both nations. The meeting covered the bilateral relationship, ways to enhance cooperation, and important regional and global developments.
Several senior officials joined the discussions, including Abdullah bin Mohammed bin Mubarak Al‑Khulaifi, chief of the Amiri Diwan, and Mohammed bin Abdulaziz bin Saleh Al‑Khulaifi, minister of state at the foreign ministry, along with other high‑ranking representatives from both countries.
The summit continues until Nov. 6. This second gathering comes 30 years after the first summit in Copenhagen in 1995, where nations agreed on commitments to fight poverty, promote inclusive growth, address inequality, and strengthen international cooperation.
