Dr Mustafa Goksu, ambassador of Turkiye to Qatar, has stressed that Qatar is up to the challenge of hosting the 2022 World Cup, and has proven that at all levels.
This came as a statement by the envoy on Tuesday's speech of His Highness the Amir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani, who patronised the inauguration of the second ordinary session of the first legislative term, corresponding to the Shura Council's 51st annual session.
The Turkish ambassador noted that "Qatar has succeeded in the test referred to by His Highness the Amir, and that it really impresses the whole world with what it has achieved and is achieving".
He added, "The World Cup clock tells us that the moment the Qatari people have long waited for is approaching, and we are fully confident that Qatar will demonstrate to the world the best World Cup ever, and we are proud of Qatar as the first Muslim country to host this major sporting event."
Ambassador Goksu also acknowledged the constructive role of Qatar's foreign policy, which His Highness the Amir noted in his speech. "That policy has achieved successes and achievements in difficult files in the region through preventive diplomacy in defusing crises before they escalate," he added.
The envoy also pointed out that Qatar has already won respect through its policy of positive balance between principles and interests.
