Doha, March 06 (QNA) - HE Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al-Thani on Friday received a phone call from HE Prime Minister of the Czech Republic Andrej Babis.
During the call, they discussed developments related to the military escalation in the region and its serious repercussions on regional and international security and stability, as well as ways to resolve all disputes through peaceful means.
HE the Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs stressed during the call that the Iranian attack on Qatari territory constitutes a flagrant violation of its national sovereignty and is inconsistent with the principles of good neighborliness, and cannot be accepted under any justification or pretext.
In this context, he noted that the State of Qatar has always been keen to distance itself from regional conflicts and has sought to facilitate dialogue between the Iranian side and the international community. However, the renewed targeting of its territory does not reflect good intentions and threatens the foundations of understandings upon which the bilateral relations between the two countries were built.
His Excellency also stressed the need for an immediate halt to any escalatory actions, a return to the negotiating table, prioritizing the language of reason and wisdom, and working to contain the crisis in a manner that preserves the security of the region.
For his part, HE the Prime Minister of the Czech Republic expressed his country's concern over developments in the region, calling for de-escalation, the exercise of restraint, and a return to negotiations and diplomatic means to avoid further chaos. (QNA)
