Emir of Qatar Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani on Tuesday appointed Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani as the country’s new prime minister.
The new Premier has served as foreign minister since 2016.
He replaced Sheikh Khalid bin Khalifa bin Abdulaziz Al-Thani, who had served as prime minister and interior minister since 2020.
Sheikh Tamim kept key ministers in the new cabinet, including Finance Minister Ali bin Ahmed al-Kuwari and Energy Minister Saad al-Kaabi. Sheikh Khalifa bin Hamad Al Thani, who was chief of 2022 World Cup security, was named new interior minister.
The emir also restructured the board of sovereign wealth fund Qatar Investment Authority, appointing central bank Governor Sheikh Bandar Bin Mohammed bin Saoud Al-Thani as chairman to replace Sheikh Mohammed.
