Minister of National Education Mahmut Özer stated during his meeting with Al Marri that high level official visits between the two countries have reinforced both diplomatic and fellowship relations.

 

Noting that the Education Cooperation Protocol dated 2015 has boosted education cooperation between two countries, Özer went on to say: "We are happy to see that our relationship with Qatar is getting stronger every day. Culture and education has an important impact in the reinforcement of relations between countries. In this light, new generations are important. I would like to express my gratitude for playing host to Turkish students who are enrolled in your university with the scholarship of the Maarif Foundation. Sustainability is more important than the existing number of Turkish students in your university. I believe that we will sign new education cooperation agreements in the future. The Turkish education center which will be opened in your university will become an important place for Qatari students who want to study in Türkiye. Our Ministry is ready to do what is necessary for the reinforcement of relations between our countries."

  

As a part of his contacts in Qatar, Minister Özer visited Halid bin Velid Barracks where Turkish and Qatari soldiers are serving as a part of a joint force.
