Earlier this year, H.E. Lothar Freischlader, Germany’s Ambassador to the State of Qatar and Thomas Triller, Deputy Head of Mission responsible for economic affairs, met for a talk with representatives of the Autonomous e-Mobility Forum’s Executive Committee.

The multilateral conference, hosted by Qatar’s Ministry of Transport, and held under the patronage of H.E. Jassim Saif Ahmed Al Sulaiti, Minister of Transport is set to be the pioneering exchange platform centering on driverless e-mobility, a topic of global significance and urgency.  

Providing the perspective of a leading technology exporter and traditional automotive nation, the diplomats shared their observations and views on Qatar’s trajectory as a hub for dialogue, Qatari-German relations, global collaboration for a common good, and the potentials of autonomous e-mobility going forward. The German embassy indeed is the first diplomatic representation in Doha to utilize an electric vehicle as a staff car.

The exchange took place in German. It was transcribed, translated, and summarized for this report appearing in The Peninsula.
