Qatar has continued to strengthen its support to the United Nations. In November last year, Qatar pledged an amount of $62.78 million in voluntary contributions to several UN agencies, departments, and programs in 2020.

The decision reflected the utmost importance Qatar places on cementing its partnership with the UN system to address some of the most pressing concerns around the world.

Several of Qatar's representatives hold significant positions within UN bodies.

Earlier this year, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres also appointed HE Dr Ahmed bin Mohamed Al Muraikhi of Qatar as a Special Adviser to him.
