Diplomats and business people gathered to mark the Qatar National day in Seoul last week.
Ali Hamad Mubarak Al Marri, the ambassador of the State of Qatar in Korea, held the special reception on Dec. 19.
The event marked the anniversary of the accession of Sheikh Jassim bin Mohamed bin Thani, who founded Qatar. In 1878, he unified the peninsula bordered by Saudi Arabia and surrounded by the Persian Gulf.
Qatari citizens in Seoul wore their national dress and enjoyed traditional food from the Middle Eastern state at the event at the Grand Hyatt Hotel.
A prize draw was also held to award one of the event’s guests tickets to use on the Arab nation’s Qatar Airways.
