***
It is my pleasure to welcome you to the official website of the Embassy of the State of Qatar in Austria and I hope you will find useful and valuable information about the State of Qatar, its institutions, economy, hospitable people as well as its inveterate culture.
It is a great privilege for me to represent the State of Qatar in the Federal Republic of Austria, and work towards strengthening the close ties between our two countries through our embassy which opened its doors for more than four decades in order to fulfil the mutual willingness to cooperate with each other in all domains. I am pleased to take this opportunity to draw attention to the close relations between our countries in all fields, especially in the political, economic and cultural.
It is important to note the great importance of the Austrian capital Vienna as one of the four United Nations headquarters after New York, Geneva and before Nairobi, considering the several international organizations which the Viennese headquarter has.
On the other hand, the Permanent Mission of the State of Qatar to the United Nations and international organizations in Vienna has a membership in all UN agencies and organs, as well as other international organizations, and participates in its activities in order to fulfil the vision of the state of Qatar in the area of multilateral relations which is based on moderation, mediation and the strengthening of international cooperation to face common challenges and accelerate economic and social development of all peoples.
Therefore and given the enormous confidence in the role of the UN in reaching a better world at various levels, the State of Qatar has played through its membership a major role at the international level in the principal organs of the UN. In this connection, it is worth to note the generous assistance provided by the State of Qatar to many international organizations based in Vienna, as well as the organization and hosting of the thirteenth UN congress on crime prevention, the world largest and most diverse conference, in April 2015.
Furthermore, our embassy represents the State of Qatar to the Republic of Slovenia and the Slovak Republic, seeking to keep the existing good relations with these two friendly countries and to develop and strengthen them in all fields.
Finally, we hope to provide you through our website plentiful information about our work and activities in the Republic of Austria, Slovenia and Slovakia on the one hand, and the United Nations and international organizations in Vienna on the other, in addition to our consular and national service. Therefore, we are always striving to improve our website. If you have any questions or suggestions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
