Therefore there is no doubt that his announcement about the formation of the fund for friendship to B&H, from which will be provided direct incentive to the development of small and medium-sized enterprises in our country, will be realized soon. Just as it was the case with the fast implementation of the announcement on his visit to B&H. Al-Thani was born on the 3 rd  of June 1980 in Doha, and he is at the head of Qatar since 2013, which is one of the richest countries in the world.
