President of the International Inclusive Committee Alexander Smirnov held a meeting with the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the State of Qatar to the Russian Federation, His Excellency Sheikh Ahmed Nasser Al-Thani. A productive and inspiring bilateral meeting with the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the State of Qatar to the Russian Federation, His Excellency Sheikh Ahmed Nasser Al-Thani, took place on the sidelines of the Caucasus Investment Forum in Mineralnye Vody.
The parties focused on the prospects for developing bilateral strategic and investment cooperation between the International Inclusive Committee and the State of Qatar. The parties discussed in detail a number of initiatives aimed at promoting inclusion, supporting adaptive sports and implementing joint social and charitable projects.
It is gratifying to note that the views of the parties largely coincide: the parties strive to create a sustainable international platform that will help improve the quality of life of people with disabilities, will contribute to the establishment of the principles of equality and inclusion in society. The parties outlined specific steps to exchange experience in creating an inclusive environment, organizing joint sports events (including inviting the Qatari delegation to the International Adaptive Sports Festival “IMPULSE” to be held in Sochi, Russia, in 2026! and the possible holding of the “Impulse” festival in Qatar in 2027 or 2028), and also considered the possibility of establishing a joint charitable foundation to implement and support social and charitable projects, develop and build sports infrastructure not only in Russia and Qatar but also in other countries of the world.
This meeting is a significant step towards strengthening humanitarian ties between Russia and Qatar. Alexander Smirnov is confident that mutually beneficial cooperation will bring real benefits and open new horizons for many people! There is a lot of work ahead, but a start has been made, and it inspires great optimism!
