Doha, Qatar: The Ambassador of Argentina to Qatar, H E Guillermo Nicolas, stressed the growing and constantly developing diplomatic relations between Qatar and Argentina.

Speaking to The Peninsula, he revealed that both nations are commemorating 50 years of relations this year and the following year.

The bilateral relations between the State of Qatar and the Republic of Argentina trace back to June 15, 1974, in New York. It was during this day that both nations issued a joint declaration, establishing the foundational principles of diplomatic relations between Doha and Buenos Aires.

Ambassador Nicolas said, “We are working to develop our relationship – and it’s not difficult as ties are deeply-rooted.”

“This year and the following year, we are celebrating the establishment of our diplomatic relationship. It was in 2010 when the Father Amir H H Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani visited Argentina, followed by several visits of the Amir H H Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani to Argentina. And there is presence of Argentine officials in Qatar and our embassy though relatively new is actively working to strengthen relations,” Ambassador Nicolas said.
