In this context, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Belgium Hadja Lahbib sees the need to separate politics from sports, and called for the need to support Qatar’s efforts in improving workers’ conditions.
Lahbib indicated in a statement to the Belgian newspaper La Derniere Heure that most European countries will send ministerial delegations to Doha, considering that not attending the World Cup would be completely ineffective and purely ideological.
The Belgian Foreign Minister stressed that Qatar is a geopolitical and an energy partner that cannot be ignored, and which is situated on one of the largest gas reserves in the world. Qatar has also had a co-operation contract with Belgium for 25 years.
For his part, European Parliament Member Marc Tarabella stressed the importance of appreciating the efforts made by Qatar during the World Cup preparations, which included many reforms, especially in the field of workers’ rights.
Tarabella said during his intervention within the programme, QATAR 2022, that Doha has introduced many reforms to its labour laws with the help of human rights non-governmental organisations and the International Labour Organisation (ILO), and stressed the need to show support and encourage Qatar for the various steps it has taken in this regard.
In turn, politician and President of the Belgian Reformist Movement party Georges-Louis Bouchez urged against missing the opportunity to follow the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, and praised the reforms undertaken by Qatar since it won the honour of hosting the World Cup.
In an interview with the newspaper La Derniere Heure, Bouchez called for standing by Qatar’s side in its hosting of the World Cup, which will be held for the first time ever in the Arab region, and remarked that if one wants to push Qatar towards progress, one must co-operate with it, not confront it.
For his part, the former Al Gharafa Sports Club’s Italian coach Andrea Stramaccioni confirmed that Qatar is ready to host a tournament of this importance and to receive millions of fans from all over the world.
In an interview with the Italian sports publication La Gazzetta dello Sport, Stramaccioni stated that everyone is eager and thrilled about this event since it has an extraordinary organizational aspect that may be one of a kind.
According to what Qatar has so far disclosed, there are signs that it will host a World Cup that is well planned out. He claimed that Qatar has been putting together for the World Cup for a long time, closing schools and implementing other schemes like suspending the issuance of tourist visas.
