It is my pleasure to extend my greetings to HH Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, the Amir of the State of Qatar, the Father Amir HH Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, the Deputy Amir HH Sheikh Abdullah bin Hamad Al Thani, and the honorable Qatari nation, on the occasion of the National Day.

On this national occasion, I pray to God to grant our country prosperity, security, and stability, hoping that the State of Qatar will achieve more in all fields.

The National Day that our country celebrates on 18 December every year embodies the connotations, values, and principles that the Qatari nation cherishes. It is an occasion to emphasize the importance of loyalty and unity among all people of the same country.

This year's slogan for the National Day (Our Unity Source of Our Strength) embodies all the noble and sincere meanings that reflect the secret of our country's development. The success of the development journey witnessed by the State of Qatar lies in our solidarity, as we stand together proud of our identity and rich history. Following the path of the founder Sheikh Jassim bin Mohammed bin Thani (may God rest his soul in peace); we bear the responsibility of protecting the country. We renew the pledge to serve our dear homeland, maintain its position among developed countries, and reinforce the values of loyalty and allegiance towards our wise leadership.
