Qatar’s sovereign, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, has appointed Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani as the country’s new Prime minister following the abdication of Sheikh Khalid bin Khalifa bin Abdelaziz Al Thani. The new appointment is in line with Emiri decree No. 2 of 2023 issued by Sheikh Tamim. Later, Sheikh Mohammad bin Abdul Rahman Al Thani took the pledge as Qatar’s new Prime Minister before Sheikh Tamim at the Emiri Court in Doha. Sheikh Mohammad bin Abdul Rahman Al Thani has been the Minister of Foreign Affairs since January 27, 2016.
He was also named as Qatar’s Deputy Prime Minister on November 15, 2017. Sheikh Khalid was appointed PM in January 2020 after having been head of the Amiri Diwan, the emir’s office. Sheikh Abdullah, allowed to be around 60 times old, on Twitter thanked the emir for his guidance during his time as prime minister. The emir also appointed a new commander of the internal security forces, Abdulaziz bin Faisal bin Muhammad Al Thani, state news agency QNA said. He’d worked in the gas assiduity and was educated in the United States before going on to work for Sheikh Tamim when he was the crown Napoleon.
The emir’s office also announced the appointment of Sheikh Khalifa bin Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani as interior minister. In October 2021, Qatar held its first legislative council election for two-thirds of the premonitory Shura Council. In addition to his current liabilities, Sheikh Mohammad bin Abdul Rahman Al Thani has been Chairman of Qatar Investment Authority since 2018, Chairman of Qatar Fund for Development since 2014, and member of Qatar’s Supreme Council for Economic Affairs and Investments. The Shura Council has legislative authority and approves general state programs and the budget but has no say-so in the setting of defence, internal security, profitable and investment policy for the small but fat gas patron, which bans political parties.
