Doha, Qatar: Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs H E Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al-Thani received a phone call today from Prime Minister of Sudan H E Dr. Kamil Al-Tayeb Idris.
During the call, they reviewed the developments of the military escalation in the region and its serious repercussions on regional and international security and stability, as well as ways to resolve all disputes peacefully.
The Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs emphasised during the call that targeting Qatari territory with Iranian ballistic missiles constitutes a blatant violation of its national sovereignty, is inconsistent with the principles of good neighbourliness, and cannot be accepted under any justification or pretext.
He noted in this context that Qatar has always been keen to distance itself from regional conflicts and has sought to facilitate dialogue between Iran and the international community. However, the renewed targeting of its territory does not reflect good faith and threatens the foundation of understandings upon which bilateral relations between the two countries are based.
His Excellency also stressed the need for an immediate cessation of all escalatory actions, a return to the negotiating table, prioritizing reason and wisdom, and working to contain the crisis in a way that preserves the region's security.
For his part, the Prime Minister of Sudan expressed his country's condemnation of the Iranian missile attack on Qatari territory, considering it a blatant violation of Qatar's sovereignty, its airspace, international law, and the UN Charter.
