A ceremonial reception in honor of Qatar's National Day was held in the capital of Turkmenistan on December 15, 2025. The event was organized by Qatar's Ambassador to Turkmenistan, Nasser Ahmed Mohammed Al-Taher.
Minister of Trade and Foreign Economic Relations Nazar Agakhanov represented the Turkmen government at the event.
In his speech, the ambassador spoke about the historical significance of Sheikh Jassim bin Mohammed Al Thani — the founder of modern Qatar — and also highlighted Qatar's important peacekeeping activities and mediation in international affairs.
Special attention was given to the intensification of Turkmen-Qatari relations in the current year, made possible by the close ties between the leaders of both states and the exchange of high-level delegation visits.
A cultural program was prepared for the guests: an exhibition of traditional Qatari costumes, literature about the country, folk artifacts, as well as a display of falcons — Qatar's national symbol. The festive atmosphere was enhanced by traditional melodies and a calligraphy master who skillfully wrote guests' names upon request.
