His Highness the Amir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani met Tuesday with Secretary-General of the UN, Antonio Guterres, at the organisation’s headquarters in New York.
The UN Secretary-General reiterated his condemnation of the Israeli attack on Qatar, describing it as a blatant violation of international laws and norms, and warning that such actions further destabilise the security situation in the region.
His Highness the Amir and the Secretary-General emphasised the urgent need for concerted international efforts to achieve a lasting ceasefire and ensure the delivery of humanitarian aid to civilians in the Gaza Strip. They warned against the destruction of humanitarian corridors, which only serves to worsen the already dire conditions in Gaza and the occupied Palestinian territories.
The meeting also addressed ways to strengthen cooperation between Qatar and the UN, while reviewing the latest regional and international developments. Discussions included an exchange of views on key topics on the agenda of the 80th session of the UN General Assembly.
Attending the meeting was HE the Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al-Thani, along with several members of the official delegation accompanying His Highness.
