During the meeting, they discussed bilateral relations between both countries and aspects of promoting and developing them in various fields, especially in the security, defense, cultural and educational fields. Both sides also exchanged views on regional and international developments of common interest.

At the outset of the session, the French Prime Minister expressed thanks and appreciation for joining the official opening of the National Museum of Qatar, which highlights the depth of the friendly cooperation relations between both countries in various fields.

He voiced his confidence that the meeting will contribute to instilling the strategic understanding and found an important phase for the distinguished bilateral relations.
