==Multilateral relations==
Sheikh [[Hamad bin Khalifa|Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani]], the emir of Qatar from 1995 to 2013, helped establish Qatar's reputation as an influential player in Middle East politics. The first major move in this regard was the founding of [[Al Jazeera Media Network|Al Jazeera]],<ref name="boot">[http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=8215363856234901024 Books of our Time: Al-Jazeera] at [[Google Video]]; TV programme feat.

In an attempt to quell the mounting criticism, Qatar announced sweeping labour reforms in 2019. This included ending ''kafala'', the system that made it illegal for migrant workers to change jobs or leave the country without their employer's permission, effectively trapping workers who were being exploited and abused. Other reforms included the first minimum wage for [[migrant worker]]s in the region and harsher penalties for companies that did not comply with the new labour laws. When they came into force in September 2020, the reforms were met with wide acclaim. [[FIFA|Fifa]] called them groundbreaking. The [[United Nations|UN]] said they marked a new era. An international trade union referred to them as a game changer.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Pattisson |first=Pete |date=2021-11-22 |title=The road to reform: have things improved for Qatar's World Cup migrant workers? |language=en-GB |work=The Guardian |url=https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2021/nov/22/qatar-labour-rights-reforms-world-cup-legacy |access-date=2023-04-24 |issn=0261-3077}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Qatar {{!}} Country Page {{!}} World {{!}} Human Rights Watch |url=https://www.hrw.org/middle-east/north-africa/qatar |access-date=2023-04-24 |website=www.hrw.org |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Citation |last=Human Rights Watch |title=Qatar: Events of 2021 |date=2022-01-13 |url=https://www.hrw.org/world-report/2022/country-chapters/qatar |work=English |access-date=2023-04-24 |language=en}}</ref>

Furthermore, the ambassador ''Sheikh Ahmed'' expressed gratitude to Russian President Vladimir Putin and Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani for their support throughout this process.

=== Cultural and religious activities ===
[[Qatar]] is an Islamic state with multi-religious minorities like most of the [[Arab states of the Persian Gulf|Persian Gulf countries]] with waves of migration over the last 30 years. The official state religion is Wahhabi Sunni Islam. The community is made up of [[Sunni Islam|Sunni]] and [[Shia Islam|Shi'a]] [[Muslims]], [[Christians]], [[Hindus]], and small groups of [[Buddhism|Buddhists]] and [[Baháʼí Faith|Baha'is]]. [[Muslims]] form 65.5% of the Qatari population, followed by [[Hindus]] at 15.4%, [[Christians]] at 14.2%, [[Buddhists]] at 3.3% and the rest 1.9% of the population follow other religions or are unaffiliated. Qatar is also home to numerous other religions mostly from the [[Middle East]] and [[Asia]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Qatar |url=https://rpl.hds.harvard.edu/religion-context/country-profiles/qatar |access-date=2023-06-12 |website=rpl.hds.harvard.edu |language=en |archive-date=30 May 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230530081000/https://rpl.hds.harvard.edu/religion-context/country-profiles/qatar |url-status=dead }}</ref>

The country has also hosted numerous interfaith dialogue conferences.

The culture of Qatar is strongly influenced by traditional [[Arab culture|Bedouin culture]], with less acute influence deriving from [[India]], [[East Africa]] and elsewhere in the [[Persian Gulf]]. The peninsula's harsh climatic conditions compelled its inhabitants to turn to the sea for sustenance. Thus, there is a distinct emphasis placed on the sea in local culture. Literature and folklore themes are often related to sea-based activities. Oral arts such as poetry and singing were historically more prevalent than [[figurative art]] because of the restrictions placed by [[Aniconism in Islam|Islam on depictions of sentient beings]]; however, certain visual art disciplines such as calligraphy, architecture and textile arts were widely practiced. Figurative arts were gradually assimilated into the country's culture during the [[History of Qatar#Oil drilling|oil era]].

===Foreign aid===
{{Main|Qatari foreign aid}}
[[Qatar]]'s [[international aid]] program has expanded dramatically since the beginning of 2010, and focuses heavily on the [[Arab world]], most notably in the humanitarian crises in [[Syria]] and [[Gaza Strip|Gaza]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.brookings.edu/~/media/Research/Files/Papers/2015/06/trends-issues-qatari-foreign-aid-kharas/Kharas-Trends-and-Issues-in-Qatar-Aid-v2.pdf?la=en,|title=Page Not Found|website=The Brookings Institution|access-date=5 June 2017|archive-date=26 June 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150626142741/http://www.brookings.edu/~/media/Research/Files/Papers/2015/06/trends-issues-qatari-foreign-aid-kharas/Kharas-Trends-and-Issues-in-Qatar-Aid-v2.pdf?la=en,|url-status=dead}}</ref>

According to the [[UN]] [[OCHA]]'s Financial Tracking Service, Qatar's international aid increased from less than $10 million annually in the pre-[[Arab Spring]] period to the hundreds of millions following the event.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://fts.unocha.org/pageloader.aspx?page=Profile-donorCountrylist,|title=Qatar Country Profile: 2015, Financial Tracking Service, 2015|access-date=5 June 2017|archive-date=26 June 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150626142046/https://fts.unocha.org/pageloader.aspx?page=Profile-donorCountrylist,|url-status=dead}}</ref>

For example, in 2012, according to the [[Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Qatar)|Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs]], the country donated more than QAR3 billion (or c. £524 million) through governmental and non-governmental aid to nearly 100 countries across the globe.<ref name=MOFA>{{cite web|url=http://www.mofa.gov.qa/en/SiteServices/MediaCenter/News/Pages/News20131111082549.aspx,|title=|website=www.mofa.gov.qa|access-date=9 June 2017|archive-date=5 September 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150905230822/http://www.mofa.gov.qa/en/SiteServices/MediaCenter/News/Pages/News20131111082549.aspx,|url-status=dead}}</ref>

Qatari leadership has since pledged publicly to reduce suffering of victims and to achieve and support global partnerships for the achievement of foreign countries' [[Millennium Development Goals]]. The state is engaged in investments in a wide range of [[humanitarian aid|humanitarian]] and developmental sectors.<ref name=MOFA /> Qatar pledged $50 million in support to [[United Nations]] humanitarian response plan as well as the regional refugee plan for [[Sudan]], during a donor conference in [[Geneva]] on 19 June 2023.<ref>{{Cite news |date=2023-06-19 |title=Qatar pledges $50 mln in Sudan aid - PM |language=en |work=Reuters |url=https://www.reuters.com/article/sudan-aidconflict-idAFS8N37R05I |access-date=2023-07-11}}</ref> "Based on our fraternal responsibility and our moral and human duty towards our brothers in Sudan, and as a continuation of our continuous humanitarian and development efforts in brotherly Sudan, we announce the State of Qatar's pledge of $50 million to support the efforts of the Humanitarian Response Plan and the Regional Refugee Plan," Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani announced.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Qarjouli |first=Asmahan |date=2023-06-19 |title=Qatar pledges $50 million in humanitarian response to Sudan |url=https://dohanews.co/qatar-pledges-50-million-in-humanitarian-response-to-sudan/ |access-date=2023-07-11 |website=Doha News {{!}} Qatar |language=en-US}}</ref>

On September 24, 2023, [[Qatar]] dispatched a significant quantity of humanitarian and relief aid, amounting to 58 tonnes, to assist the city of Derna in Libya, which had been severely impacted by flooding. This recent contribution elevates the total amount of aid provided by Qatar to support those affected by the floods to an impressive 267 tonnes. Aid typically encompasses a range of essential provisions, including but not limited to shelter essentials, electricity generators, food, and medical commodities.

Recently, [[Qatar Charity]] (QC) launched the 'Libya Appeal' campaign, aimed at providing aid to the Libyan population grappling with the consequences of severe floods. These floods have resulted in the loss of numerous lives and the displacement of a significant number of individuals.

Sheikh [[Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani|Tamim Bin Hamad Al Thani]] also conveyed his heartfelt condolences to the victims affected by the catastrophic floods in [[Libya]] through a message posted on the social media platform Twitter.  "I extend to our brothers in Libya my sincere condolences and sympathy for the victims of the catastrophic floods, and we in Qatar declare our complete solidarity with the Libyan people to overcome this painful ordeal, and we ask God to have mercy on the dead, bring back the missing, and heal the wounded,". He wrote.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2023-09-26 |title=Two Qatari Planes from Qatari Air Bridge Arrive at Benina Airport in Libya to Aid Flood-Hit People [EN/AR] - Libya {{!}} ReliefWeb |url=https://reliefweb.int/report/libya/two-qatari-planes-qatari-air-bridge-arrive-benina-airport-libya-aid-flood-hit-people-enar |access-date=2023-09-29 |website=reliefweb.int |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Eltayeb |first=Mohamed |date=2023-09-25 |title=Qatar delivers two planes carrying 58 tonnes of aid in flood-hit Libya |url=https://dohanews.co/qatar-delivers-two-planes-carrying-58-tonnes-of-aid-in-flood-hit-libya/ |access-date=2023-09-29 |website=Doha News {{!}} Qatar |language=en-US}}</ref>
