Relations with Qatar
The purpose of this official visit is to maintain good relations between the Netherlands and Qatar. The countries are working closely together in the areas of “sustainable energy, sustainable cultivation of our food and the digitalization of society,” the government information service reported. In 2013, Moza bint Nasser, the mother of the current Emir, attended the inauguration ceremony of King Willem-Alexander. Four years later, she returned to the Netherlands again and went out with Queen Máxima.
