On March 1-st, 2016 the Ambassador of Ukraine Mr. Yevhen Mykytenko took part in the Day of Education Excellence, which is celebrated every year in Qatar under the patronage of H.H. the Emir Sheikh Tamim  Al Thani (pictured).

During the nominating ceremony of the best graduates of Qatari universities, which was also attended by heads of diplomatic missions accredited to Qatar, speeches were heard, in which the main accent was focused on the high attention paid by the leadership of Qatar to the problems of education. Among other things, it was noted that the budget for 2016 provides 2.8% of the GDP of Qatar (over 4 bln. US dollars) to the financing of various research activities.

In the near future Ukraine and Qatar will sign several memoranda of cooperation that will contribute to the intensification of contacts between universities of the two countries in different fields.
