Doha, Qatar: Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, HE Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al-Thani, today received a phone call from prime Minister of the Republic of North Macedonia, HE Hristijan Mickoski.
During the call, they reviewed developments in the military escalation in the region and its dangerous repercussions on regional and international security and stability, as well as ways to resolve all disputes through peaceful means.
The Prime Minister affirmed during the call that the Iranian aggression against Qatari territory constitutes a flagrant violation of its national sovereignty, is inconsistent with the principles of good neighborliness, and cannot be accepted under any pretext or justification. In this context, he pointed out that the State of Qatar has always been keen to distance itself from regional conflicts and has sought to facilitate dialogue between the Iranian side and the international community. However, the renewed targeting of its territories does not indicate good faith and threatens the foundation of the understandings upon which bilateral relations between the two countries were built.
His Excellency also stressed the necessity of an immediate halt to any escalatory actions, a return to the negotiating table, the prioritization of the language of reason and wisdom, and efforts to contain the crisis in a way that preserves the security of the region.
For his part, the Prime Minister of the Republic of North Macedonia expressed his country's concern regarding the developments in the region, calling for de-escalation, the exercise of reason, a return to negotiations and diplomatic means to avoid further chaos.
