The State of Qatar and the United Kingdom have maintained strong strategic relations and bilateral cooperation in various fields of partnership for a long time now. The first UK Embassy was set up in Doha in 1949, with the arrival of British diplomat, Sir Arthur John Wilton.

Today, the two nations have diplomatic cooperation agreements in the fields of business, economy, education, science and technology, arts and culture and military. The two countries cooperate on defense projects as well. Britain has a Royal Air Force base located 17 miles south-west of Doha, in Al Udeid. Qatari cadets attend the Royal Military Academy in Sandhurst every year.

The UK government department of UKTI (UK Trade and Investment) facilitates the expansion and location of UK-based businesses in Qatar, as well as Qatari businesses that wish to set up their bases in the UK. There are more than 700 UK-based companies registered in Qatar. Bilateral trade between the two countries stood at £6.7 billion in 2019. Along with shared economic interests and military affairs, Qatar and the UK share cultural ties too. The British Council has been involved in arts, social and education programmes in Qatar since 1972.

The Qatar Embassy in London, located in South Audley Street in Mayfair, is the Middle Eastern nation’s diplomatic mission in the UK. It is the Embassy’s mandate to promote and preserve the ties between the UK and Qatar. Various departments in the Embassy work towards this mandate, such as:

  • Qatar Ministry of Foreign Affairs: To promote and implement Qatar’s foreign affairs policies and maintain diplomatic relations with UK government bodies.
  • The Diplomatic Institute: To provide human resources to the Qatar Ministry of Foreign Affairs to help represent Qatar in the best possible manner.
  • Consular Services: To issue visas and provide passport services to Qatar and UK citizens for travel to the State of Qatar.
