Doha, Qatar: HE Sheikha Al Mayassa bint Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani officially inaugurated the Qatar, Argentina and Chile 2025 Year of Culture in the presence of dignitaries, diplomats, and guests from Qatar and abroad. The occasion was accompanied by a cultural celebration at the National Museum of Qatar, spotlighting the deepening ties between the Middle East and Latin America. The event was a key highlight of the Spring/Summer 2025 Season of Qatar Creates - a platform dedicated to amplifying the voices of Qatar’s creative industries and promoting cultural activities within the country.

Commenting on the importance of the initiative, His Excellency Guillermo Nicolás, Ambassador of Argentina to Qatar, said: “The Year of Culture represents an extraordinary opportunity to strengthen the bonds between our countries by presenting the depth of Argentine culture. Through music, dance, art, and dialogue, we aim to strengthen mutual understanding and highlight the shared values that unite our peoples. From the elegance of tango to the powerful voices of our contemporary artists, Argentina is honoured to contribute to this unique cultural bridge. We are deeply grateful to Qatar for its openness and enthusiasm in celebrating the diversity of Latin America.”

Ambassador of Chile to Qatar and the UAE HE Patricio Díaz Broughton added: “This celebration marks a significant milestone in the cultural diplomacy between Chile and Qatar. The Year of Culture allows us to share the soul of Chile — our music, our art, our traditions — with new audiences in the Gulf region. Establishing lasting people-to-people connections will help transcend borders for years to come. Qatar’s commitment to cultural exchange is truly commendable, and we look forward to a year filled with meaningful encounters, creative collaborations, and deepened ties between our nations and communities.”
