London, March 09 (QNA) - Prominent politician in the United Kingdom's (UK) Conservative Party and former Secretary of State for Wales Alun Cairns said that the world will need Qatar's leadership and wisdom to end the ongoing war in the Middle East.

Speaking to Qatar News Agency (QNA), Cairns stressed that Iranian attacks on Qatar and the region in general are wrong and must stop immediately.

He added that Iran's aggressive activities are pointless and have caused chaos in one of the most important regions in the world in terms of energy, investment, and the global economy, warning that the repercussions of this chaos will be felt around the world.

Cairns praised Qatar's role over the past years in mediating international conflicts and disputes, saying that Qatar has gained global respect through its role as a mediator and its sponsorship of negotiations aimed at bringing peace to some of the worst and most severe conflicts in the world.

He added that he has no doubt about Qatar's leadership and its approach to handling conflicts and disputes previously, noting that the country will likely be called upon to help mediate and reach a settlement to the current conflict in the Middle East.

Cairns also emphasized that Qatar enjoys great international respect thanks to the role it has played in the past in resolving conflicts and mediating diplomatic, peaceful solutions.

He concluded his remarks by saying that he looks forward to Qatar's leadership and wisdom, as always, in reaching a settlement to the ongoing war in the Middle East. (QNA)
