Commenting on the visit, Ambassador Muir said, “It was an honour to welcome a delegation of Australian representatives to Qatar so soon after my arrival. It was great for them to see firsthand how Qatar is preparing for the FIFA World Cup 2022 as many Australians will be travelling to Qatar to cheer on our national team.
