Doha, Qatar: Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs HE Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al-Thani received Friday a telephone call from HE Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Poland, Radoslaw Sikorski.
Discussion during the call focused on 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 peacefully.
HE the Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs affirmed during the call that the Iranian attack on Qatari territory constitutes a flagrant violation of its national sovereignty, is inconsistent with the principles of good neighborliness, and cannot be accepted under any justification or pretext.
His Excellency noted in this context that the State of 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 territory does not reflect good faith and threatens the foundation of understandings upon which bilateral relations between the two countries are built.
His Excellency also stressed the need for an immediate cessation of all escalatory actions, a return to the negotiating table, and the prioritization of reason and wisdom, working to contain the crisis in a way that preserves the region's security.
For his part, the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Poland expressed his country's concern regarding the developments in the region, calling for de-escalation, the application of reason, and the return to negotiations and diplomatic means to avoid further chaos.
