Qatar Library Hosts Maritime Trade and British Diplomacy Seminar
The Qatar National Library organized a seminar on the role of early maritime trade networks in strengthening British influence in the Gulf, with a focus on the impact of the British East India Company and the maritime trade routes that contributed to establishing political and diplomatic relations between Britain and the Gulf states. The seminar clarified that maritime agreements and commercial activities helped expand British influence beyond direct trade relations, especially amid competition with regional powers. Dr. Aisha Hadi Al-Rashidi discussed diplomatic tools, particularly soft power, that enhanced Gulf-British relations, emphasizing the importance of cultural historical references and rare documents that record these relationships, aiming to connect the past with the present and promote historical awareness and research studies.
