Qatar Establishes Embassy in Uzbekistan: Significance Explained
Uzbekistan Welcomes Qatar's First-Ever Ambassador to the Country
Earlier this week, President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev received several new ambassadors who arrived in the country. Among them was Hassan Hamza Hashim, the ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary of Qatar for the first time.
Qatar has appointed its ambassador for the first time since Uzbekistan gained independence. This move marks the opening of an embassy in Tashkent. What kind of country is Qatar and why is this important for Uzbekistan?
Uzbekistan and Qatar recognized each other as sovereign and independent states in 1997. In November 2010, President Karimov made a state visit to Qatar.
Qatar is a small country with an area of about 11.5 thousand square kilometers, 39 times smaller than Uzbekistan. The population is less than 3 million, which is 12 times smaller than Uzbekistan’s population. However, Qatar is one of the countries with great potential in the world due to its hydrocarbon reserves.
Moreover, Qatar’s political and geopolitical views are unique in the Arab world. Al-Jazeera is the leading mass media in shaping the political mood and geopolitical views of the Arab-Muslim world. Qatar is a globalist state that has certain projects regarding the future of Islamic civilization.
The development of diplomatic, economic, cultural, and geopolitical relations between Uzbekistan and Qatar means that Tashkent’s subjectivity in the international arena is increasing. This move marks a step forward in Uzbekistan's evolving relationships.
In conclusion, in the globalizing world, it's important for countries to weld and synthesize their strong identities to freedom, political and economic activity, and as a result, to form large-scale projects. The diplomatic and economic relations between Uzbekistan and Qatar will continue to grow in the future.
