LoginQatar Urges Diplomacy and Collective Security at Italy Forum on EU-GCC Relations
Milan, May 08 (QNA) - Advisor to the Prime Minister and Spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Dr Majed Mohammed Al Ansari has called for greater international cooperation and renewed diplomatic engagement to address growing regional and global instability.
Speaking at a session in Milan titled "Bridging Stability: EU-GCC Cooperation in an Era of Fragmentation", Dr Al Ansari said ongoing conflicts and geopolitical crises were placing increasing pressure on global stability and decision-making processes.
The event was organized by the Doha Forum and MED Dialogues in partnership with the Italian Institute for International Political Studies (ISPI) and the Center for International Policy Research (CIPR).
Dr Al Ansari warned that some actors were seeking to promote political narratives and approaches aimed at advancing their strategic interests amid intensifying competition for influence and shifting global power balances.
He stressed that political and military pressure did not necessarily lead to sustainable solutions or long-term stability, underlining the importance of mediation and diplomacy in resolving conflicts.
Questioning the effectiveness of diplomacy, he said, reflected "a growing need for it rather than the opposite".
The Qatari official also urged countries to continue working through dialogue and diplomatic channels to prevent further escalation and avoid deeper cycles of conflict.
He said the current war had affected international relations, including ties between Europe, the United States and countries in the Middle East, with wider consequences for energy security, the global economy, supply chains and international alliances.
Dr Al Ansari added that security and stability could no longer be achieved by individual states acting alone, but instead required collective cooperation and broader international coordination.
Concluding his remarks, he highlighted the growing interconnectedness between nations and the political, economic and security impact of current crises, calling for a shared vision to confront rapidly evolving regional and international challenges. (QNA)
