Qatar s Emir visits the UK

09-12-2024 07:00

The Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, and his wife, Sheikha Jawaher, were welcomed on a state visit to the UK.

King Charles and the Prince and Princess of Wales led the reception, with Prime Minister Keir Starmer also emphasizing Qatar’s importance in bilateral investments and diplomacy. The Emir participated in ceremonial traditions at the Horse Guards Parade with Prince William and Princess Kate, marking her return to royal duties after preventive cancer treatment. Queen Camilla, recovering from pneumonia, attended the state banquet but skipped earlier outdoor ceremonies.

King Charles highlighted Qatar’s leadership in peace efforts, clean energy, and investments while paying tribute to its role in global energy supply and humanitarian diplomacy. The banquet celebrated decades of UK-Qatar relations, strengthened by education, energy, and innovation.

Difficult words: bilateral (involving two countries), preventive (done to stop something), diplomacy (managing international relations).
