Suhaim bin Hamad Al Thani

His brother, Khalifa bin Hamad Al Thani, was the emir of Qatar.

Sheikh Suhaim was appointed minister of foreign affairs in February 1972.

[2] He had a great deal of participation, particularly in political, humanitarian, social and cultural activities.

After Suhaim died suddenly of a heart attack in August 1985, his sons blamed Ghanim Al Kuwari, the minister of information and culture, for not responding promptly to his calls for medical attention.

[3] In 2008 a fellowship fund was established at Harvard University’s John F. Kennedy School of Government for the memory of Suhaim bin Hamad Al Thani.
