The Abdullah Bin Hamad Al-Attiyah International Foundation for Energy and Sustainable Development and the Center for the National Interest (CFTNI) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).
It was shared that the collaboration aims to bolster research, education, and dialogue in energy and sustainability and foster “constructive relations” between the State of Qatar and the United States.
His Excellency Abdullah bin Hamad Al-Attiyah, Chairman of the Al-Attiyah Foundation, and Paul Saunders, President of CFTNI, ceremonially ratified the agreement during a virtual meeting.
H.E. Abdullah bin Hamad Al-Attiyah commented: “I am delighted to formalise the cooperation agreement between the Al-Attiyah Foundation and the Centre for the National Interest. This partnership will serve as a platform for the exchange of knowledge and experiences, particularly in the realms of energy and sustainability policies.”
Paul J. Saunders added: “The United States and Qatar are leading energy exporters and contribute importantly to the global economy. As a result, we have a special responsibility to address challenges including access to energy, affordable energy, and energy security as well as sustainability and climate change. Deeper dialogue on these topics can advance U.S. national interests as well as shared U.S. and Qatari goals. The Center for the National Interest’s cooperation with the Al-Attiyah Foundation provides a valuable forum for exchanging ideas and perspectives on these critical issues.”
