Sheikh Hasina will also deliver an address to the students of Qatar University in Doha, while separately holding meetings with Qatar’s Minister of State for Energy Affairs, Saad bin Sherida Al Kaabi, and Saudi Arabia’s Minister of Investment, Khalid A. Al-Falih.
Continuing her engagement on May 24, the Prime Minister will join the Forum’s proceedings and engage in a meeting with Qatar’s Emir, Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, at the Amiri Diwan. Additionally, she will visit the Awsaj Academy, a specialized school in Doha.
