04:15Your Highnesses,
04:43As-salamu alaykum. It gives my wife and myself the greatest possible pleasure to welcome
04:51you to Buckingham Palace this evening on your first state visit to the United Kingdom. In
04:58many ways this evening might be seen as a homecoming. Your Highness is no stranger to
05:05these shores, having spent so many of your younger years here at three of our most renowned
05:13institutions – Sherbourne, Harrow and the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. Your many
05:21visits since then have served as a testament to the close personal ties that bind our nations
05:29and our families. This evening I am delighted to mark the renewal of our enduring friendship.
05:39I would like to propose a toast to Your Highnesses, to the enduring friendship between the State
05:58of Qatar and the United Kingdom and to the continued prosperity and wellbeing of our peoples.
06:28Your Majesty, Your Royal Highnesses, distinguished guests, it is a wonderful privilege to be here
06:54this evening. I thank you for your gracious invitation to this dinner and for the friendship
07:02that you and the Queen have shown me, my wife and all the Qatari people. The personal connections
07:12between our families are strong and long-lasting. Back in 2010, your mother, the late and cherished
07:24Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, told my father that she saw the Qatari people as old and valued
07:34friends and expressed her hope that the UK would be a home away from home for them, and it certainly
07:45is. The United Kingdom and Qatar are not only friends but partners. Through our joint diplomacy
07:56efforts, cultural exchanges and economic investments, we shape the global landscape.
08:03I would like to commend Your Majesty for your steadfast commitment and unfailing leadership,
08:13promoting interfaith dialogue, peace efforts and protection of environment. Thank you once
08:23again for your incredible hospitality and let us pray for the continued health of His Majesty
08:31and to the strength of our alliance and friendship. Thank you very much.
