Greece and
Qatar have set the foundations for a long-term cooperation in culture following a recent visit of Greek Culture Minister
Lina Mendoni to Doha where she met with Qatar Museums Chairperson
Sheikha Al-Mayassa bint Hamad Al-Thani.
During the meeting, Mendoni agreed to proceed with a
cultural exchange plan between Greece and Qatar that will offer added value to both countries. A working group is expected to be set up in order to define the priorities of both sides and initiate a program to establish a
“Greece-Qatar Year of Culture”.
“We are moving forward with a substantial cooperation that will offer results and an important imprint on the relations between the two countries. The people of Qatar are very interested in Greek culture… and Qatar has invested in culture, infrastructure, human resources and promotion activities. There are many common elements that we can work on together,” Mendoni said.
