Doha, Qatar: One of the primary challenges confronting decision-makers today is the capacity to make informed choices in the face of uncertainty and insufficient information, Minister of State at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs H E Dr. Mohammed bin Abdulaziz bin Saleh Al Khulaifi, has said.

The statement was made during his opening address at the second Leadership Innovation Forum 2025, organised by the Qatar Leadership Centre (QLC) under the theme “The Art of Decision Making,” held yesterday in Doha.

The forum held under the patronage of Chairperson of the QLC Board of Directors H E Sheikha Al Mayassa bint Hamad Al-Thani, had in attendance Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of State for Defence Affairs H E Sheikh Saoud bin Abdulrahman bin Hassan Al-Thani, and several of their Excellencies Ministers, diplomats and other dignitaries.

Al Khulaifi emphasised the intricacies involved in decision-making within the realms of diplomacy and international relations, characterising it as a process that necessitates a clear vision, adaptability, and unwavering commitment to principles. He noted that the interdependence of interests and stakeholders often obscures a comprehensive understanding.

“This necessitates decisions grounded in principles rather than emotions,” he remarked.
