Natalia Gavriliţa expressed her admiration for Qatar's achievements in strengthening food security over the past few years. Thus, the parties agreed on cooperation in the agri-food field both through the exchange of experiences and through the promotion of cooperation in the private sector.

Qatar's progress in supporting the social sectors was also discussed.
