Doha, Qatar: The Amir His Highness Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, and His Excellency Prime Minister of Canada Mark Carney, met today in Doha to elevate bilateral ties and set clear priorities for increasing trade and investment.

The meeting comes in the context of Prime Minister Carney’s visit to Qatar – a historic first visit by a sitting Canadian Prime Minister – emphasizing the shared commitment to promoting mutual prosperity, regional and international peace, stability, security, and a resilient multilateral system. 

Qatar and Canada enjoy a positive and growing partnership built on shared priorities, similar values, and mutual respect.

Since establishing diplomatic relations over 50 years ago, our countries have been continuously working to deepen ties through high-level visits and agreements that advance cooperation in trade, defence, education, and international development.

Recent milestones include a visit of HH the Amir to Ottawa in September 2024, during which both sides signed Memoranda of Understanding (MoU) on development cooperation as well as annual political consultations and finalized expanded air transit arrangements, underscoring a commitment to closer dialogue and connectivity.
