The game has rules, and everyone has to obey the rules, he stressed, calling on all people around the world to pay a visit to Doha and see how welcoming it is.

“When one comes to Qatar,

he has the experience to say Wow!” he said, noting that visiting Qatar gives the opportunit­y to enjoy the culture and hospitalit­y while feeling totally welcome and secure.

“My short visit to Doha was joyful and I saw that the global community came to Qatar and were well received and well respected. That is the best thing that should happen around the world,” he said.

He spoke about the bilateral ties that connect the US and Qatar that are based on internatio­nal cooperatio­n to find solutions for conflicts in some parts of the world.

“Under the leadership of His Highness the Amir of State of Qatar Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, we have dramatical­ly improved the relationsh­ip between the United States and the State of Qatar.

The US Senator appreciate­d Qatar’s cooperatio­n with the United States in many issues in other parts of the world, noting that Qatar is an ally and a reliable partner of the US.

Commending Qatar’s hosting of the FIFA World Cup, Bob Menendez stressed, “Qatar has brought the global community together as one, in my time here I saw great achievemen­ts of justice and security, and I saw the spirit of the Qataris who welcomed guests.”

On the malicious campaigns against Qatar by some foreign media, he said, “I think it is good to highlight what is positive about the games. There should be some criticism that is a nature of hosting any global event. I think after the end of that Qatar will be stronger than before, they will stand up to the criticism, they will respond, and the most important here is not what the press says, but what everyone coming to Qatar has of experience.”
