Which country does Qatar belong to?

Introduction: The World Cup is in progress. We were very strange to Qatar before, but with the opening of the World Cup, we began to get familiar with Qatar. We have learned a lot about its customs, its address and the country to which Qatar belongs. Qatar, the host country of the World Cup, belongs to Asia. If you want to know what a maverick Arab country is, let's take a look at Bian Xiao's introduction.

Which country does Qatar belong to?

Qatar, the host country of the World Cup, belongs to Asia. Qatar is an Arab country in southwest Asia, located on the qatar peninsula on the southwest coast of the Persian Gulf, bordering Saudi Arabia in the south. The coastline is 563 kilometers long.

Qatar is located in East Zone 3 (UTC+3), 3 hours earlier than GMT and 5 hours later than Beijing time.

Qatar has a flat terrain, mostly a desert covered with sand, which is slightly higher near the west coast. There is a large area of exposed limestone from Zkrit to the south, and Qatar's onshore oil is mainly stored in this area.

Qatar, commonly known as Qatar, has a coastline of 563 kilometers. The oil and gas industry is the backbone of the card economy. In recent years, the government has invested heavily in the development of natural gas as the top priority of economic development. Qatar is the largest producer and exporter of liquefied natural gas in the world.

Qatar, a maverick Arab country, where is its confidence?

Arab countries refer to countries with Arabs as the main body, mainly distributed in West Asia and North Africa. Now there are 22 Arab countries in the world, such as Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Qatar. These countries have the same culture, use the same language and belong to the same language and species, so they are closely linked and are often regarded as brothers internationally.

In the Arab world, Egypt used to be the boss. When Israel was founded, Egypt organized Arab Coalition forces against Israel many times, which also contributed the most to several Middle East wars. However, with the development of the world economy, the demand for oil is increasing, and oil-producing countries such as Saudi Arabia have achieved a strong rise. Now Saudi Arabia has become the most powerful country in the Arab world, including Egypt, which is particularly dependent on Saudi investment.

In this case, Saudi Arabia has also begun to claim to be the leading brother in the Arab world, and naturally hopes that all Arab countries can follow suit. But there are too many Arab countries and they are widely distributed, so it is difficult to do so. Even a country next to Saudi Arabia is unwilling to follow Saudi Arabia.

This Arab country, Qatar, is located in the eastern part of the Arabian Peninsula, bordering the Persian Gulf, and has only one land neighbor, namely Saudi Arabia. Although Qatar borders Saudi Arabia, it is unwilling to follow Saudi Arabia, so it is isolated by many Arab countries. For example, on 20 17, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Yemen, Bahrain and other countries jointly broke off diplomatic relations with Qatar. Saudi Arabia even wants to dig canals and cut off land links with Qatar.

Qatar has angered Saudi Arabia and other countries because Qatar is a maverick Arab country, and many practices are unacceptable to Saudi Arabia and other countries. For example, Saudi Arabia regards Iran as an opponent, but Qatar has good relations with Iran and Turkey has good relations with Qatar.

When Saudi Arabia and other countries broke off diplomatic relations with Qatar, Iran and Turkey immediately sent aid to help Qatar tide over the crisis. In addition, there is Afghanistan. 20 13, the Taliban set up an office in Qatar as a window to the outside world. Now, the Taliban have regained control of Afghanistan, and the Foreign Minister of Qatar has also visited Afghanistan. All Qatar's practices are aimed at enhancing its status and influence in the world, but Qatar is only a small country with an area of about1.65,438+0,000 square kilometers and a population of about 3 million. So what is Qatar's confidence?

First, rich oil and gas resources. Qatar is rich in oil and gas resources, with proven oil reserves ranking 13 in the world and natural gas reserves ranking third in the world. For example, the South pars-North Dom oil and gas fields in Qatar and Iran are the largest oil and gas fields in the world, contributing a lot of wealth to Qatar. Thanks to its rich oil and gas reserves, Qatar has become one of the richest countries in the world, and the living standards of local people even exceed those of many developed countries. This is one of Qatar's advantages.

Second, the special position. Qatar is a peninsular country, bordering on the Persian Gulf on three sides and Saudi Arabia on the south. When Saudi Arabia broke off diplomatic relations with Qatar, it not only closed the ports of the two countries, but also prohibited Qatar's aircraft from entering Saudi airspace, which caused some trouble to Qatar. But Qatar is a coastal country, all kinds of materials can be imported by sea, and planes can bypass other countries, so Qatar is not afraid of the blockade of Saudi Arabia and other Arab countries.

Third, make friends with America. Qatar has always maintained close ties with the United States, which has the largest military base in the Middle East in Qatar. This base, Udeid Base, is located 30 kilometers southwest of Doha, Qatar, near the border between Qatar and Saudi Arabia, so Qatar is not afraid of Saudi Arabia and other Arab countries. With this self-confidence, coupled with Qatar's own lofty aspirations, it is not satisfied with being an ordinary local tyrant country, so Qatar has long been committed to enhancing its influence in all aspects and becoming a maverick Arab country.
