Qatar’s Emir appoints QIA CEO as minister of health
By Andrew Mills
DOHA (Reuters) – Qatar’s Emir on Tuesday appointed the CEO of the Qatar Investment Authority (QIA), Mansour Ibrahim al-Mahmoud, as the country’s next minister of health.
It was unclear if Al-Mahmoud would remain as CEO of the country’s $510 billion sovereign wealth fund.
As part of Tuesday’s cabinet shuffle, Qatar’s emir also appointed Sheikh Faisal bin Thani bin Faisal Al Thani as the country’s new minister of commerce and industry.
Sheikh Faisal is the QIA’s chief of Asia-Pacific and Africa investments and the chairman of Qatari telecoms group Ooredoo. It is unclear if he will remain in those roles.
The emir appointed Lolwah bint Rashid Al-Khater as the new education minister. She served previously as minister of state for international cooperation and led Qatar’s global humanitarian efforts, especially in Gaza and Lebanon.
She also spearheaded Qatar’s role in brokering the return of dozens of Ukrainian children to Ukraine from Russia or Russian-occupied territory.
