Taking part in a plenary session at Doha Forum 2022 under the topic ‘Transforming for a New Era,’ Sheikh Mohamed said: “We can't be isolated from what is happening around the world. We have to play an active role and provide at least a positive contribution to international peace and stability. I believe that Qatar has been building a track record in dialogue and diplomacy in different complex areas.”The other members at the panel included Faisal bin Farhan al-Saud, Foreign Minister of Saudi Arabia; Josep Borrell, High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and US Senator Lindsey Graham, Ranking Member of the Senate Committee on Budget. The session was moderated by Dr Comfort Ero, president and chief executive officer, International Crisis Group.HE Sheikh Mohamed said that Qatar is conscious of regional stability and international peace. “Being an effective member of international community is very important. It is satisfying if we can contribute to the peace and stability of our region and maintain international security. For us it is very important to maintain the international order, to maintain international legitimacy and preserve the UN charter and preserve the international law,” explained HE Sheikh Mohamed.He noted: “For us to make sure that our region is safe is directly in our national interest. To be a platform for diplomacy and dialogue is also important for us.”According to him, any transition is normally a bumpy one. “We have developed an inter-connectedness with other countries in the past decades. We cannot be isolated or unaffected by any global crisis. One major issue we are talking about is climate change, which is a global issue. That is going to affect all of us. What the international community is doing today in order to anticipate the consequences of this crisis is a 'late answer', but we must work collectively to confront this phenomenon," he said.“Another issue is the pandemic of Covid-19. We are still living through the consequences of Covid. Another major problem is the geopolitical crisis. It directly has its impact, first on the direct neighbours and then on others and the entire world,” he said.HE Sheikh Mohamed said that dialogue is the only way forward and the only way to end any crisis or any potential conflict. “It has been proven that dialogue is the right way. For the current crisis, we need to provide, short-term, midterm and long-term solutions in order to preserve international peace. Conflicts result in many ways. The Russia-Ukraine issue is impacting the food supply and it is impacting the energy market too. All the conflicts should be addressed diplomatically,” he said.Al-Saud noted that it is important to work with all the countries to set the transformation into a new era. “We are working with other countries and the global south in every major issue such as access to water, access to education, access to health as well as all other basic needs. Priority is always given to the suffering population and to address the issues in line with national and international guidelines,” he said.Senator Graham highlighted the need to stop Russian aggression on Ukraine and Borrell advocated the need for implementing rule of law in every action.HE the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Sheikh Mohamed bin Abdulrahman al-Thani underlined that Qatar has a long record of dialogue and diplomacy in several areas of conflict, including Sudan and Lebanon, and between Djibouti and Eritrea, stressing that dialogue is the only way forward and the only way to end any potential crisis or conflict, Qatar News Agency reported.Speaking at the opening session of Doha Forum 2022 Saturday, he highlighted Qatartarget="_blank"'>
