Word from the Ambassador
Best Greetings,
Please allow me to welcome you to the website of the Embassy of the State of Qatar in Sofia, Bulgaria. It is a great honor for me, to represent the State of Qatar in the Republic of Bulgaria, a country with rich history, beautiful nature and hospitable people. The Embassy opened in 2012 but the diplomatic relations between the State of Qatar and the Republic of Bulgaria date back to 1990.
Our Diplomatic Mission strives to promote and strengthen the friendly relations between the two nations, as well as to cooperate in political, economic, scientific and cultural domains. Over the years the bilateral relations between the two countries have grown and expanded vastly with around 30 agreements and memorandums, with more that are currently being discussed. The agreements cover different fields, from education and sport to business and energetic. The relation between the State of Qatar and the Republic of Bulgaria have crossed several stages of cooperation and mutual coordination and the desire to move forward in order to serve the common interests of both countries.
Under the guidance of our leader His Highness Sheikh Tamin Bin Hammad Al Thani (may Allah protect him) our Diplomatic Mission will continue to encourage the strengthening of the friendly relations between the countries and to explore other fields and ways for mutual help and cooperation. As an Ambassador, I am committed to safeguarding and unfolding those relationships by bringing our cultures closer together.
This website will provide information for the Qatari visitors in Bulgaria and for the Bulgarian visitors in Qatar. We express our readiness and desire to provide advice, guidance and assistance to anyone as this is among our priorities. On the website, one can find not only news and answers to the most commonly asked questions but also general information about the Republic of Bulgaria and the State of Qatar.
The doors of our Embassy are always open to serve the Qatari nationals and others in need of our services and assistance. We are eager to extend to all the utmost hospitality that our nation is so famous for.
