Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs HE Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani on Monday received a phone call from Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs of Iraq Fuad Hussein, and Minister of Foreign Affairs of Bosnia and Herzegovina Elmedin Konakovic
During the calls, they discussed the developments in the military escalation in the region and its serious repercussions on regional and international security and stability as well as ways to resolve all disputes through peaceful means.
The Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs affirmed that the Iranian aggression on the Qatari territories constitutes a blatant violation of its national sovereignty, and it is inconsistent with the principles of good neighbourliness, and it cannot be accepted under any justification or pretext.
He noted that Qatar has always been keen to distance itself from regional conflicts and has sought to facilitate dialogue between Iran and the international community. However, the renewed targeting of its territories does not reflect good intentions and threatens the foundation of understanding upon which bilateral relations between the two countries are built.
He also stressed the necessity of an immediate cessation of all escalatory actions, a return to the negotiating table, the prioritisation of reason and wisdom, and working to contain the crisis in a manner that preserves the security of the region.
For their parts, the Iraqi and Bosnia and Herzegovina ministers expressed their countries’ condemnation of the Iranian attack on the Qatari territories, considering it a flagrant violation of the sovereignty of Qatar and its airspace as well as a breach of international law and the Charter of the United Nations.
