On the occasion, Al Khayyat told Qatar News Agency (QNA) that Algeria and Qatar have always enjoyed good fraternal relations based on mutual friendship and cooperation in several economic, cultural, and social fields. These relations have been strengthened under the leadership and directives of Amir H H Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani and President of Algeria H E Abdelmadjid Tebboune.

“Today we are pleased to culminate this close relationship with the inauguration ceremony of the Algerian-Qatari-German Hospital in partnership with the Algerian Ministry of Health after completing all contracting procedures between the Estithmar Holding Company and the Algerian Ministry of Health”, he added.
