New York: The Amir HH Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani met today with the Secretary-General of the United Nations, HE Antonio Guterres, at the organization’s headquarters in New York.

The UN Secretary-General reiterated his condemnation of the Israeli attack on the State of Qatar, describing it as a blatant violation of international laws and norms, and warning that such actions further destabilize the security situation in the region.

HH the Amir and the Secretary-General emphasized the urgent need for concerted international efforts to achieve a lasting ceasefire and ensure the delivery of humanitarian aid to civilians in the Gaza Strip. They warned against the destruction of humanitarian corridors, which only serves to worsen the already dire conditions in Gaza and the occupied Palestinian territories.

The meeting also addressed ways to strengthen cooperation between the State of Qatar and the United Nations, while reviewing the latest regional and international developments. Discussions included an exchange of views on key topics on the agenda of the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly.

Attending the meeting was HE Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al-Thani, along with several members of the official delegation accompanying His Highness.
