Ladies and gentlemen,

At the conclusion of the deliberations of this summit, I would like to express my deep appreciation for all the sincere efforts that have marked its activities, leading to the adoption of the "Doha Declaration", which came in response to the challenges and variables we are witnessing around us, and coinciding with a new phase in which natural gas contributes to charting a course towards a more sustainable future.

Our summit confirmed our conviction that dialogue is the optimum way to achieve consensus, enhance cooperation, and protect the interests of producers and consumers for the good of their peoples.

The State of Qatar welcomes working with everyone to make common good, security and stability prevalent among all peoples of the world.

I reiterate my thanks to you all for your participation in this summit, and I also thank all those who contributed to organizing and preparing for it.

May the peace, mercy and blessings of God be upon you.
