Official stresses Qatar's efforts to solve several global issues

Adviser to the Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, and official spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Dr Majed bin Mohamed al-Ansari stressed Tuesday the positive efforts made by Qatar to solve several international topics and issues.During the media briefing held by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Dr al-Ansari indicated that the visit of HE the Minister of State at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Dr Mohamed bin Abdulaziz bin Saleh al-Khulaifi to Tehran and inviting Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi to visit Qatar, as well as meeting with several officials in Iran are part of a series of continuous visits between the two countries to hold talks on the return of the joint action plan and the continuous efforts to bridge points of view between Iran and the international community in general on various topics.He underscored that Qatar continues its positive efforts in that regard by presenting proposals and facilitating meetings between Western and Iranian officials in Doha. He pointed out that the Doha initiative is not the only one in the region, as there are many initiatives that Qatar considers complementing each other and supports, which leads to more rapprochement and qualifies for the return of the nuclear agreement, especially since the challenges are great in this file and cannot be solved through one mediator.He indicated that Qatar seeks to overcome the great difficulties facing reaching an agreement by moving forward and transforming this big issue into topics that can be dealt with each of them separately, and standing at certain points and addressing them separately to reach a picture that makes the situation closer to a comprehensive agreement between the two parties.Dr al-Ansari said that HE the Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Sheikh Mohamed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim al-Thani's meeting with the visiting UK Foreign Secretary James Cleverly will discuss bilateral relations and their aspiration to hold another strategic dialogue next year in Doha after the first dialogue that was held in February last year.He stressed the strategic continuity of the relations between the two countries in various fields, and that such meetings come within the framework of Qatar's efforts to play a positive role internationally in various topics.Dr al-Ansari pointed out HE Sheikh Mohamed's phone call with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and their discussion on the developments in the Ukraine war, the situation in Afghanistan, and the latest developments in the Iranian nuclear agreement.He also pointed out HE the Minister of State for International Co-operation at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Lolwah bint Rashid AlKhater's phone call with Ukrainian Deputy Foreign Minister Mykola Tochytskyi on the need to take into account the humanitarian aspects, especially in light of the Ukrainian-Russian crisis, and the importance of maintaining the stability of global food security in the field of grain.He noted Qatar's participation in the conference on irregular migration that was held in Rome, Italy.He also noted that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs summoned the ambassador of Sweden to hand him an official objection memo that includes calls on the Swedish authorities to take all the necessary measures to stop these heinous practices related to the attack on a copy of the Holy Qur'an in Sweden, and the failure of the authorities there to stop these practices, which express hatred and religious discrimination.Furthermore, Qatar condemned in the strongest terms the burning of a copy of the Holy Qur'an in the Danish capital, Copenhagen, stressing that allowing the repeated infringement of the Holy Qur'an under the pretext of freedom of expression fuels hatred and violence, threatens the values of peaceful coexistence, and reveals abhorrent double standards.The official spokesperson touched on the signing of the Qatar-Turkiye on a joint statement on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the establishment of relations between the two countries, praising the level of Qatari-Turkish co-operation in vital fields, especially in investment, trade exchange, tourism, and culture, expressing his hope that relations between the two countries would expand to broader horizons.
