Without any doubt, our National Day creates good opportunity so the generations can communicate in order to carry a coherent idea of the State of Qatar, and to convey it for bond of Qatari family in one entity, said Prof. Fatima Mohamad Al Suwaidi, Associate Dean for Languages, Communications and Translation, College of Arts and Sciences, Qatar University.
She told The Peninsula that Qatar National Day represents for us a kind of historical communication under a framework of belonging, and a symbol that reveals what the Qataris should be, not only on December 18 every year, but rather throughout the year to confirm in us the great humanity that Qatar and its people carry, and a deep appreciation for the nation, which sees people as the first pillar of any progress and development in various fields.
“On such a dignified occasion we can only be communicated about the values that our great ancestors carried; great by their actions and words, I mean the Founder, Sheikh Jassim bin Mohammed Al Thani who established a State based on sophistication and advancement in a long history that we are all proud of.”
She said that since he assumed the reins of power in 1878 AD, he has been a unique model in giving wisely, and managing with a political vision based on awareness of the region, Arabism, Islam and the outside world.
