THE Embassy of the State of Qatar in Brunei Darussalam commemorated the Qatar National Sports Day 2018 with fun-filled outdoor activities at the Saddle Club in Berakas Camp yesterday.
Saleh Mohammed Al-Nesef, Ambassador of the State of Qatar to Brunei Darussalam was joined by foreign diplomats and the embassy’s staff members.
The state’s national sports day is a pioneer initiative adopted by His Highness Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani, the Emir of the State of Qatar, who issued the Emiri Decree that every Tuesday in the second week of February each year will be the Qatar National Sports Day.
In view of this, all ministers, government bodies and embassies lined up a series of public events to encourage their employees to actively engage in outdoors activities as well as raise awareness on the importance of regular exercise for a healthy mind and body.
At the Saddle Club, diplomats and embassy staff engaged in activities such as horse riding, tug-of-war, ATV rides and beach football. Family members and guests also joined in the fun.
