Momen joins 'Doha Forum 2023' in Qatar

Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen on Sunday joined the two-day 'Doha Forum 2023' in Qatar at the invitation of Qatari prime minister, who also holds the foreign ministry portfolio. 

"Qatar's invitation to Bangladesh's foreign minister to participate in the Doha Forum is an expression of Qatar's intention to improve relations with Bangladesh," said foreign ministry's spokesperson Seheli Sabrin at a weekly media briefing at the foreign ministry here. 

Momen left Dhaka for Doha on Saturday on a three-day official visit, she said.

The spokesperson said that the foreign minister would attend a number of high-level meetings including a panel discussion on Covid-19 and vaccine development and another high-level panel discussion on "Changing Priorities in Global Trade."

The Doha Forum is being held under the patronage of the Emir of Qatar Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, she said. 

Doha Forum is a platform that welcomes a diversity of viewpoints, reflecting the many perspectives and interests of all people, especially those whose voices are often ignored.

Under the banner of "Diplomacy, Dialogue, Diversity," Doha Forum promotes the interchange of ideas and discourse towards policy-making and action-oriented recommendations.

The 21st edition of Doha Forum gathers the world's top officials, executives, and thinkers to address the most pressing unresolved questions in various fields.
