Buenos Aires, September 26 (QNA) - HE Qatar’s Ambassador to the Argentine Republic Battal Mijeb Battal Mohammed Al Dossari affirmed that relations between Qatar and Argentina have been steadily developing since the opening of the Qatari Embassy in Buenos Aires in 2013.

In statements to Qatar News Agency (QNA), His Excellency noted that the fruitful visits of HH the Amir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani to Argentina in 2016 and 2018 resulted in numerous agreements in key areas such as energy, culture, and science, as well as a mutual visa-exemption arrangement for citizens of both countries.

His Excellency added that the launch of the 2025 Cultural Year between Qatar, Argentina, and Chile came at an ideal time, pointing out that Qatar has become something of an icon for the Argentine people, especially after Argentina’s victory at the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022.

Concluding his remarks, the ambassador highlighted several joint cultural and artistic events taking place between the two nations, including a performance by the Qatar Philharmonic Orchestra at the Teatro Colon in Buenos Aires, a major Doha Debates discussion on urban development, and an art exhibition on Latin America at the National Museum of Qatar, in addition to the presentation of the book Kalila and Dimna to Argentina’s National Library.
