Yemen’s Vice President and Prime Minister Khaled Bahah was welcomed at Qatar University yesterday. He was presented with a commemorative plaque by QU president Dr Hassan Rashid al-Derham.
Attending the ceremony were members of QU leadership, college deans, diplomatic dignitaries, QU faculty and staff and about 200 students.
A Q&A session followed Bahah’s presentation entitled “The Republic of Yemen…Until Where?” in which he gave an insight on the history of Yemen and the country’s political situation during the last 50 years. He also highlighted a number of issues such as the Houthi movement and the six wars (2004-2009), the Arab Spring and its impact on the situation in the country, the GCC initiative in Yemen, and the Geneva I and II conferences.
Dr al-Derham said that since its inception QU had played a pivotal role in highlighting the most significant phases of Qatari history.
“Today, the Arabic and Islamic nation is facing tremendous challenges which led to a new situation in the region. In this context, Qatar University provides decision makers with a platform to discuss the various contemporary issues related to the region, in line with Qatar’s ongoing mission to be a key driver of peace, steadfastness in the face of injustice, and preservation of the nation’s independence.”
