Deputy  Prime  Minister and  Minister of Foreign Affairs H E Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman  Al  Thani received a  written message from Canadian Minister of   Immigration,   Refugees and Citizenship H E Sean   Fraser, in which he expressed his country’s thanks and gratitude to the  State of  Qatar for its support and cooperation in delivering Canadian humanitarian aid to Kabul, and for its role in the evacuation of Afghan and Canadian citizens from Afghanistan.

The   Canadian   Minister pointed out that the Government of  Qatar has made, over the past several months, efforts that have achieved remarkable goals by welcoming  large  numbers  of  Afghans who were forced to flee their  country,  adding  that  this  generous response from Qatar, including the provision of shelter, meals,  health  care,  and  specialised services for children, was greatly appreciated.

His Excellency also said that the support and cooperation of Qatari  officials  greatly  con-tributed to the work of Canadian diplomatic staff in the process of transferring Afghan refugees to Canada,   stressing   that   the   success and achievement of such efforts would have been impossible without Qatar’s support and the professional efforts provided by Qatari officials at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

In  his  message,  H  E  Sean  Fraser expressed his aspiration to work with Qatari officials, while such humanitarian efforts continue.
