Qatar’s unflinching support to establish and expand peace, stability and security in the region is not something new rather the country for many years making relentless endeavor for peace around the world. Backed by a strong foreign policy which quests for peace, Qatar actively engages world nations and raises strong voices for peace in conflict-ridden regions across the world.
The recent statement by the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs H E Sheikh Mohamed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani at the World Policy Conference (WPC) in Marrakesh, Morocco, reiterates the firm stance of the nation on peace and security.
He called for expanding regional security in the Middle East and the conclusion of a security agreement based on the fundamental principles of security and rules of good governance. H E the Minister also recalled the invitation of Amir H H Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani to conclude a regional security treaty in the Middle East.
The statement made by Qatar is significant in the wake of the sequence of conflicts in the region and undoubtedly the region desperately needs a sustainable framework to ensure long-term peace and stability. Qatar is well cognizant of the fact that only a sustainable approach can pave the way for regional security.
The foreign policy of Qatar is one among the best and dignified in the world as it truly reflects the nation’s thirst for peace, security, stability as well as projects a wise humanitarian perspective towards the world. The speech of H H the Amir at the UN General Assembly is significant as His Highness stressed the fact that regional security system is critical to maintaining the security and stability of the Middle East in general and the Gulf region in particular.
Qatar has got a goal-oriented wise approach in its mission to ensure peace and security in the region. It stresses the need for a collective mechanism, based on agreed principles, in the field of security and a set of rules of governance and respect for sovereignty and equality among its members.
Most importantly in order not to use ethnic diversity and minorities as a pretext for intervention, countries of the region must build systems that respect the rules of coexistence in the international community, hoping that these initial steps will provide the necessary incentive and pave the way for peace and prosperity in the region.
