Biography | Ahmed bin Jassim Al Thani — Sworn In as Economy Minister the Night After a New Emir
kevin
On 25 June 2013 Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani handed the emirate to his son Tamim.
The next evening the new emir swore in a cabinet at the Amiri Diwan on the Doha Corniche.
Doha News, working from the Qatar News Agency list published that night, named Sheikh Ahmed bin Jassim bin Mohammed Al Thani minister of economy and trade.
He resigned the Al Jazeera director general post the same day.
Finance was split off and given to Ali Shareef Al Emadi.
Energy stayed with Mohammed bin Saleh Al-Sada.
The Diwan building visible from the Corniche is the old Qal'at Al-Askar, the Ottoman military fort that became Doha Palace and, after independence in 1971, the Amiri Diwan.
Cabinet oaths are taken there.
He held the economy portfolio until November 2018.
In 2020 the emir named him economic adviser.
In 2021 he was named secretary general of the Supreme Council for Economic Affairs and Investment.
Those later titles belong to later rooms.
This pin is the night he left the news network for the government.
The visitor on the Corniche sees the clock tower, the mosque, and the pale government block behind the gardens.
The oath itself happened inside.
