During the visit two sides enthusiastically exchanged number of common issues related to family issues and society development.

The Doha International Institute for Family Studies and Development (DIFSD) conducts research and promotes scholarship on the legal, sociological, and scientific basis of the natural family as the fundamental unit of society.
Its initiatives seek to implement the Doha Declaration, an internationally recognized reaffirmation of Article 16 (3) of the United Nations’ Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which reads: “The family is the natural and fundamental group unit of society and is entitled to protection by society and the State.”
The Institute contributes to Qatar Foundation’s community development mission through its policies and programs that build on the concept that a framework of strong, stable families facilitates dialogue and harmony at all social levels.
