Evolution of Qatar’s foreign policy in Afghanistan

The author divided the evolution of Qatar's foreign policy in Afghanistan into four stages. The emirate purposefully increased its efforts in the Afghan track, wisely using its existing capabilities. No less importantly, Qatar took into account the shortcomings of its policy in a number of countries (Syria, Yemen, Sudan, and partly Palestine). As a result, for some time the Emirate became the center of attraction for the international community on almost all key issues related to Afghanistan.

The article also paid attention to the intricacies of diplomatic work on organizing a political office of the Taliban Movement in Doha, which became a turning point for Qatar's policy in Afghanistan.
