Qatar believes in dialogue as the main principal in handling issues and disputes, the ideal means of exchanging views in global political challenges, and the guide towards achieving national settlements for stability and, thus, consolidating the rule of law and establishing good governance, Minister of State for Foreign Affairs H E Sultan bin Saad Al Muraikhi said while addressing the ninth World Policy Conference, currently underway in Doha.
The Minister said the current global challenges are continuous, expanding and recurring and get more complex every day, which requires more collective cooperation so as to achieve global peace.
The minister added that Qatar is an advocate of peace and believes in a joint fate for all the peoples and the human origins that bring people together regardless of their races, beliefs, languages and culture.
He said that people are all partners in the right to live, and in the ownership of the planet and to protect it by tackling challenges and coming up with solutions and building human values. The risks of instability and the absence of law anywhere affect states and societies, he said, adding that the effects of political conflicts and disputes as well extremism and the absence of the rule of law are no longer exclusive to a single place or culture.
Al Muraikhi said Qatar insists to be a power for the good of the world and has worked through mediation to achieve stability in several areas of the world where conflicts and disputes are present.
Qatar has offered aid to countries going through post-conflict transitional periods and supported reform in many countries out of belief that reconciliation and national settlements are the way towards stability and paving the way for the rule of law, he said.
The political instability in the Arab world is a source of concern for Qatar, the minister said, adding that the reasons differ from one country to another.
