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.
