Qatar assumed its independent international duties on September 3, 1971, when it attained complete independence and sovereignty. The declaration of Qatar's independence was made 52 years ago today, on September 3, 2023.
In a momentous address, Father Emir Sheikh Khalifa bin Hamad Al Thani stressed that Qatar will become a fully independent and sovereign state, assuming full responsibility for its international affairs and establishing authority both at home and abroad. As Qatar marks its anniversary of freedom today, his comments are still relevant. Through their messages to the nation and its leaders on social media, well-wishers lauded Qatar's remarkable governance over the years.
