A continuous series of achievements that Doha has accomplished since hosting the Qatar 2022 World Cup has yielded results that we proudly reap today with the participation of Qatari security forces in securing the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, which will take place from July 26 to August 11. This security participation is a culmination of the security, organizational, and administrative successes in all major sports events hosted by the sports capital, Doha, and has received praise from all sports fans, tourists, and visitors directly involved in these events, particularly the Qatar 2022 World Cup. It has established a strong international security footprint on the world's map and reflects the strength and resilience of Qatari-French relations, resulting in a strategic security partnership. This achievement is a source of pride for Qatar, showcasing Qatari Arab Muslim security forces in the suburbs of France.
We were encouraged by the words of His Excellency Sheikh Khalifa bin Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, Minister of Interior and Commander of the Internal Security Force "Lekhwiya", along with the leaders of the security forces participating in organizing the French Olympics. His remarks carried the essence of national identity and emphasized the importance of values and social ties grounded in Arab and Islamic principles. He fully understands their strength and strongly believes that Arab national identity and loyalty to the homeland are the keys to success, excellence, and overcoming all challenges. Every citizen responsible for protecting and ensuring the safety of the homeland must uphold the values of responsibility and loyalty to the nation.
The tasks have become larger, extending beyond the state today, but within a foreign culture and non-Arab land. The responsibilities and roles have elevated on the international stage, with Qatari forces emerging as a model for Arab and Islamic security. This was affirmed by the Minister of Interior in his speech, recognizing the competence of Qatari security forces; they deserve the trust of wise leadership and will leave a significant international mark, making a genuine contribution to Qatar's sports and security achievements. His Excellency's message is a greater call to all Qataris and residents in Qatar, highlighting the importance of adhering to cultural values and Qatari identity, and fulfilling roles and responsibilities to the best of their abilities, collaborating with everyone within a social and community framework.
It is worth noting that the strength of the internal front among community members reflects on the security and stability of society while fulfilling roles and responsibilities, creating a healthy and safe environment capable of facing any challenges on both local and international levels. It serves as a model to be emulated across all sectors, particularly since Doha has made a global mark in overcoming challenges and managing crises over the past years, characterized by achievements led wisely by a strong internal front that upholds national, Arab, and Islamic identity. It is a tangible model of Doha’s accomplishments for the world.
Finally, all greetings and appreciation go to the security leaders and everyone contributing to the safety and security of our Qatari, Arab, Islamic, and global community. Under wise leadership, Qatar stands as a model we take pride in.
