Iran’s foreign minister praises ‘constructive’ Tehran-Doha ties
Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian has praised the “constructive” relations of cooperation between the Islamic Republic and Qatar on regional and international issues.
The minister says the full implementation of agreements between the two countries would help consolidate relations.
Amir-Abdollahian is on an official visit to the Qatari capital, Doha. He made the remarks in a meeting with Emir of Qatar Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani on Tuesday.
The Iranian foreign minister also hailed Qatar’s mediating role in certain cases related to Iran.
Cooperation between Tehran and Doha, Amir-Abdollahian said, contributes to regional and international peace and stability.
On Israel’s bloody war in the besieged Gaza Strip, Iran’s foreign minister underscored the need for accelerating joint efforts by Tehran and Doha towards a political solution.
The minister denounced Washington’s “contradictory” approach towards Israel’s hostilities.
The United States attacks Yemen, Iraq and Syria, Amir-Abdollahian said, and at the same time claims it does not want to expand the scope of war in the region.
The Emir of Qatar, for his part, said the Tehran-Doha ties are closer than ever, which demonstrates the two countries’ progress in advancing relations.
He appreciated Iran’s diplomatic efforts in supporting the Palestinians and pursuing a political solution to end the war in Gaza.
Separately on Tuesday, Amir-Abdollahian met with Ismail Haniyeh, the head of the political bureau of the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas, to discuss the latest developments in Gaza.
Amir-Abdollahian arrived in Doha on Monday as part of his regional tour that began on Friday and earlier took him to Syria and Lebanon.
During his stay in Qatar, the foreign minister also held talks with Qatar’s Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani.
