As Ambassador of Japan to the State of Qatar, I commend His Highness the Amir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani for his compelling address at the opening of the 80th UN General Assembly. His Highness’s speech reflected Qatar’s strong and consistent commitment to international peace, dialogue, and diplomacy — values that Japan deeply shares and upholds.Japan stands by Qatar in the pursuit of peace in the region and expresses its strong support for the mediation and diplomacy efforts by Qatar. We also reiterate Japan’s strong condemnation against the recent attack by Israel in Doha, as it undermines serious diplomatic efforts to achieve peace and threatens Qatar's sovereignty and security, and consequently jeopardises regional stability.Japan values its longstanding friendship with the State of Qatar and recognises Qatar’s important contributions to regional and international stability. We remain committed to working closely with the Qatari leadership and the international community to support peaceful solutions, uphold international norms, and foster an environment where dialogue prevails over violence.
