This article provides an in-depth analysis of the role of information-media aspects and public diplomacy in Qatar’s foreign policy. In recent years, globalization, the formation of an information society, and high political activity in the region have transformed Qatar’s foreign policy into a modern communicative space. The study examines the ways in which Qatar protects its national interests through information-media platforms, strengthens its influence in the region, and consolidates its position on the global political stage, with particular attention to strategies aimed at enhancing “soft power” and international brand ranking. In addition, Qatar’s experience in information wars, combating fake news, and engaging with the public is evaluated as a relevant model for the world.
