QATAR'S concerns over issues of international importance are always taken seriously by world community and global organizations. Qatar’s diplomacy is so fruitful that the world always gives due importance and respect to the words spoken by the Qatari leadership.
The country has been relentlessly advocating for effective solutions to the issues vexing the region, foremost of which is the Palestinian issue. During the ninth session of the Arab-Chinese forum at the ministerial level, the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs H E Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, vociferously raised the pressing regional issues such as Palestinian struggle, conflicts in Syria, Libya and Yemen.
In the address to the virtual meeting, H E the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs stressed: “The transformations and challenges that the world is going through oblige us to work together towards rearranging international relations according to a vision based on cooperation, solidarity and coexistence among all peoples, because peace is what will lead to a bright future in the world and its stability and development.”
Peace remained an elusive mirage for the Palestinian people for decades now and they feel that the world is constantly turning a blind eye to their legitimate struggle to liberate their land from the occupying Zionist forces. Of late the expansionist Netanyahu government has been racing against time to annex east Jerusalem despite stern opposition from regional countries.
Raising the issue during the Arab-Chinese forum, H E the Deputy Prime Minster said that the Palestinian cause remains at the top of the list of the joint agenda between the Arab world and China. Qatar reiterated its call for the international community to fulfill its responsibilities in achieving a just solution to the key issue in region in accordance with international legitimacy resolutions, the principle of two-state solution and the Arab Peace Initiative.
Qatar also called for a political solution, which is the only way out of the protracted Syrian crisis, saying that the humanitarian and economic consequences of the crisis exceeded the borders of Syria, emphasising that the international community should make sufficient efforts to deal with the catastrophe.
H E the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs also raised the issue of Libya calling for renewed commitment from all quarters to support to Libyan state and its people to reach stability while encouraging political dialogue between the relevant parties. The Yemen war was also dealt with due importance during the meeting saying that the crisis which led to the killing, sabotage and destruction of the capabilities of the Yemeni people and their cultural heritage, calling for concerted efforts put an end to the crisis and to preserve Yemen’s unity, sovereignty and stop the bloodshed of its people.
