Doha, October 21 (QNA) - HH the Amir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani said: "Qatar continues to play a significant role internationally through mediation in conflict resolution and in humanitarian efforts."

In a speech on Tuesday at the opening of the first ordinary session of the second legislative term, corresponding to the 54th annual session of the Shura Council, HH the Amir added: "These endeavors have strengthened Qatar’s global position and associated its name with its positive and active role.
