Doha: Prime Minister and Minister of Interior H E Sheikh Khalid bin Khalifa bin Abdulaziz Al Thani chaired the Cabinet’s regular meeting held at its seat at the Amiri Diwan yesterday.

Following the meeting, Minister of State for Cabinet Affairs H E Mohammed bin Abdullah Al Sulaiti issued the following statement:

At the beginning of the meeting, the Cabinet welcomed the signing of the Doha Peace Agreement on August 8, 2022, by the Chadian parties and the participation of politico-military movements in the national, inclusive, and sovereign dialogue in Chad, under the auspices of the State of Qatar, which came as a culmination of the negotiations it hosted during the past five months, with regional and international participation.

The Cabinet affirmed that this historic agreement established a new phase in Chad and opened the doors of peace, stability and prosperity to its people.

The Cabinet expressed the State of Qatar’s keenness and support for the success of the national dialogue in the Chadian capital, N’Djamena, with the participation of all parties, to achieve inclusive national reconciliation.

The Cabinet renewed the State of Qatar’s condemnation and denunciation of the continuing Israeli attacks on the brotherly Palestinian people in addition to the killing, repression, intimidation, arrest campaigns, home demolitions, continued settlement expansion in the occupied Palestinian territories and flagrant violations of human rights principles and international law under the eyes of the international community.

The Cabinet affirmed that the repressive and brutal Israeli practices and the settlers’ storming of Al Aqsa Mosque under the protection of the occupation forces would undermine the chances of achieving peace, eliminate the two-state solution and escalate the tension in the region. The Cabinet calls on the international community to intensify efforts and work hard to implement the resolutions of international legitimacy, force Israel to immediately stop its aggressive practices against the Palestinian people and acknowledge all his legitimate rights, foremost of which is his right to establish his independent state with full sovereignty over all of its lands occupied in 1967, with East Jerusalem as its capital.

The Cabinet also gave approval of: Accession to the Protocol Relating to the Madrid Agreement Concerning the International Registration of Marks. A draft Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for cooperation in the agricultural field between the Ministry of Municipality in the State of Qatar and the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock in the Republic of El Salvador. A draft memorandum of understanding (MoU) for cooperation in the field of youth and sports between the Ministry of Sports and Youth in the State of Qatar and the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sports of the Republic of Kosovo.
