Ambassador Goksu stressed the consensus of visions between Turkiye and Qatar regarding the call for dialogue and a peaceful solution to international crises, praising His Highness the Amir's speech in which he said, "The path to resolving conflicts by peaceful means is long and arduous, but it is less costly than wars."
Goksu stressed that Qatar's rich experience in the issue of diplomatic mediation to resolve disputes represents the best practical confirmation of what the Amir made.
The Turkish envoy appreciated the Amir's renewal of his country’s position in support of the Palestinian cause and the call to resolve the worsening crises in Libya, Yemen and Syria.
He also stressed the importance of what the Amir mentioned regarding the breakthrough that the region witnessed in relations between countries, represented by constructive dialogue and the restoration of relations between Saudi Arabia and Iran, Egypt and Turkiye.
Ambassador Goksu stressed that Turkiye and Qatar share a diplomatic policy that seeks stability and harmony in the region.
He also praised what His Highness Sheikh Tamim said in his speech about Qatar’s hosting of the World Cup, and the opportunity it represented for interaction between peoples, and for the world to learn about the peoples of the region, aspects of our culture and values, and Qatar’s position as a global destination linking East and West. The Turkish envoy said this goal was fully achieved.
Ambassador Goksu also appreciated Doha's position in its donation and initiative to support Morocco and Libya after the earthquake and floods disaster, recalling Doha's position in supporting Turkiye after it was affected by earthquake at the beginning of this year.
