The President of Armenia is also planning to visit the Museum of Islamic Art.

In the capital city of Doha, President Sarkissian will visit the Embassy of the Republic of Armenia to the State of Qatar and will meet with the representatives of the Armenian community.

One of the practical results of the previous meetings of the President of Armenia and the Emir of Qatar is the opening of the Embassy of Armenia in the State of Qatar which became possible through the keen assistance of the Emir and the Government of Qatar as a sign of respect toward Armenia and the Armenian people.

During his visit, President Armen Sarkissian will participate also to the prestigious World Innovation Summit for Education held in Doha and will make a statement. The World Innovation Summit for Education is an international initiative aimed at transforming education through innovation. It was established by the Qatar Foundation.
