Qatar and Türkiye stressed on Tuesday “their rejection of unilateral measures that could undermine the security of the Strait of Hormuz or threaten the stability of international navigation.”
Emir of Qatar Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani received in Doha on Tuesday Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan for talks on regional developments, most notably the ceasefire between the United States and Iran, and efforts to de-escalate tensions and reach a diplomatic solution to boost international security and stability.
They also reviewed the strategic cooperation relations between their countries and ways to support and strengthen them.
Qatari Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al-Thani later received Fidan for talks on regional developments and tensions surrounding the Strait of Hormuz.
They reaffirmed the importance of safeguarding freedom of navigation in the strait, condemning any attacks against commercial vessels or threats to maritime security in the region.
They described such acts “as a clear violation of international law and a threat to the stability of international trade and vital supply chains.”
The officials agreed that “the next phase requires enhanced coordination and consultation, as well as building on the strategic partnership between Qatar and Türkiye in support of regional security and stability.”
They underscored support for the mediation efforts by Pakistan, hoping they will help bring the crisis to an end.
Discussions further covered the latest developments in the Gaza Strip, the occupied Palestinian territories and Lebanon.
