The Firm Commitment of Qatar to Protecting Education During Crisis


One constant focus dominates Qatar's priority among the many areas calling for attention: education. Whatever the difficulties that may occur, Qatar has reaffirmed its commitment to bring education to the top. This dedication endures even during the most difficult times of war when protecting educational institutions like schools and colleges becomes vital.

This unwavering dedication was highlighted in an emotional address given by HE Lolwah bint Rashid AlKhater, Minister of State for International Cooperation at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, during an online celebration of the fourth International Day to Protect Education from Attack in Geneva. As HE AlKhater stressed the necessity of protecting educational establishments from assaults, Qatar's commitment was clear. She acknowledged and applauded the arduous efforts of people and organizations who seek to offer educational opportunities, particularly for kids who are caught in the middle of battles or situations.

The question, "Why Education?" HE AlKhater's query struck a chord because it brought to light a sad reality that attacks on education and the use of schools for military purposes continue in numerous parts of the world, depriving millions of young people of their basic right to education. HE Conflict should never be used as an excuse to deny people their right to education, AlKhater emphasized. Children's lives are put in jeopardy when schooling is disrupted, and the effects last a long time for both their future chances and the stability of their communities. Her Highness Sheikha Moza bint Nasser's unflinching support and Qatar's constant dedication to this noble cause serve as a light of hope, placing excellent education at the center of its strategic vision and emphasizing its dedication.

Sky Care: How the UAE’s First Hospital Vertiport is Redefining Emergency Response

  Imagine a critical patient, a time-sensitive organ for transplant, or a specialist medical team needed across a bustling city. On the ground, traffic is a formidable adversary, where every minute lost can alter outcomes. Now, imagine that same journey taking minutes instead of an hour, not by navigating the roads, but by soaring gracefully above them. This is not a scene from a sci-fi film; it is the new reality in the United Arab Emirates. In a landmark move that solidifies its position on the global stage of innovation, the UAE has officially launched the nation’s — and the region’s — first hospital-based vertiport at Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi. This isn’t just a helipad with a new name. It is the cornerstone of a fully integrated, city-wide advanced air mobility (AAM) ecosystem, marking a profound convergence of cutting-edge aviation, AI-driven healthcare, and sustainable infrastructure. The Launch of a Lifesaving Corridor The project is a powerful collaboration between aviati...

Three Houses, One Vision – How the UAE’s Abrahamic Family House is Redefining Inter-Faith Dialogue

  When you step onto the stone-plinth of the Abrahamic Family House on Saadiyat Island in Abu Dhabi, you are not just visiting a building. You are entering a bold statement: a mosque, a church and a synagogue standing side-by-side, equal in size and purpose, sharing common ground while respecting their separate faiths. A landmark of coexistence In early 2023 the UAE inaugurated this pioneering complex, inviting worshippers and visitors alike. The architecture — designed to give each of the three faith-homes the same external dimensions and to signal equality — allows each to express its own traditions while remaining visibly part of a unified vision. More than 200 nationalities live in the UAE, which means the project reflects a multicultural reality in which multiple faiths and identities coexist daily. Islam’s role in the vision For Muslim-majority audiences in the Gulf, the Abrahamic Family House sends a resonant message: Islam does not fear dialogue — it embraces it. The m...

Beyond the Handshake: How the EU-UAE Partnership is Forging a New Model for 21st-Century Trade

  We are witnessing a pivotal moment in international relations, not in the halls of Washington or Beijing, but in the vibrant heart of Dubai. The ongoing negotiations between the European Union and the United Arab Emirates for a comprehensive Free Trade Agreement (FTA) and a parallel Strategic Partnership Agreement represent far more than a simple trade deal. This is a conscious, data-backed effort to build a deep and strategic partnership designed to thrive amid global economic uncertainty. The Foundation: A Trade Relationship Already in High Gear Before the first negotiation even began, the economic ties were already formidable. In 2024, trade in goods between the EU and UAE reached a staggering €55.6 billion, solidifying the UAE’s position as the EU’s second-largest trading partner in the Gulf region. The services sector adds another robust layer, with trade exceeding €39 billion in 2023. The growth trajectory is equally impressive; EU exports to the UAE saw a 15% surge in a si...
