Doha: Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs HE Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al-Thani received a phone call on Sunday from Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Norway HE Jonas Gahr Store.
During the call, the two sides discussed the recent military escalation in the region, its serious implications for regional and international security, and ways to resolve disputes through peaceful means.
HE the Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs emphasized that the targeting of Qatari territory with Iranian ballistic missiles constitutes a blatant violation of Qatar's national sovereignty, contradicts principles of good neighborliness, and cannot be justified under any circumstances.
He noted that Qatar has consistently sought to remain neutral in regional conflicts and to facilitate dialogue between Iran and the international community, but repeated attacks on its territory show a lack of good faith and threaten the foundations of bilateral relations.
He also stressed the urgent need to halt all escalatory actions, return to dialogue, prioritize reason and wisdom, and work to contain the crisis in a way that preserves regional security.
In response, HE Store expressed his country's condemnation of the Iranian missile attacks on Qatari territory, describing them as a clear violation of Qatar's sovereignty and airspace, as well as a breach of international law and the United Nations Charter.
