Doha, Qatar: The German Embassy in Doha marked the Day of German Unity on Monday with a warm and reflective celebration, as Ambassador of Germany to Qatar H E Oliver Owcza delivered a speech underscoring the historical significance of the occasion and the strengthening ties between both nations.

Present at the event were the Minister of Public Health, H E Mansoor bin Ebrahim bin Saad Al Mahmoud, Director of the Protocol Department at MoFA, H E Ibrahim Yousif Abdullah Fakhro, along with several ambassadors, as well as other dignitaries and guests.

In his address at the event, Ambassador Owcza emphasised that the commemoration of German Unity remains a moment of profound meaning not only for Germans but also for friends of Germany around the world.

He recalled the emotional scenes of November 9, 1989, when the Berlin Wall fell, paving the way for Germany’s reunification less than a year later, on October 3, 1990.

“Everybody who experienced Germany as a divided country, Berlin as a divided city, will remember the emotional moments when the Berlin Wall finally came down,” he said.
