Doha: The high-level meeting for Least Developed Countries opened today, in the presence of Chairman of the Board of Directors of Qatar Fund for Development HE Sheikh Thani bin Hamad Al-Thani, along with several distinguished officials.

Minister of State for International Cooperation HE Dr. Maryam bint Ali bin Nasser Al-Misnad affirmed in the opening address that the meeting comes at a critical stage in which developing countries face major challenges, but at the same time possess opportunities that can turn into real achievements if the right partnerships, adequate financing, and supportive international environment are available.

Her Excellency pointed out that international documents have emphasized that these challenges are not an inevitable fate, but rather an opportunity to renew commitment, build the capacities of these countries, strengthen infrastructure, and transfer technology.

Her Excellency said that innovation has become an indispensable necessity for achieving development, whether through digital transformation, human resource development, or innovative financing solutions.
