On the two countries' relations, HH the Amir stated that this year marks the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries, noting that these relations have been marked by continuous development and growth, as well as increased cooperation in all fields, particularly education, health, investment, energy, and the economy. HH the Amir reaffirmed Qatar's belief in the resilience of the Spanish economy, emphasizing that he had directed today to increase these investments to $5 billion over the next few years.  HH the Amir added that the State of Qatar is currently one of the largest Arab investors in Spain.

HH the Amir congratulated HM King Felipe VI and the Spanish people on the qualification of their national football team for the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022.  HH the Amir invited HM the King and HM the Queen to attend the opening ceremony of the tournament and the matches they like to watch, looking forward to welcoming them in Doha.
