Unity Demonstrated During Summit Most Significant Outcome: Kazakh Envoy

Doha, Qatar: The extraordinary summit in Doha held on September 15 will be remembered as far more than another meeting of leaders. It stood out as a defining moment, showing that even in the face of mounting challenges, nations can find common ground and speak with one voice, Ambassador of Kazakhstan to Qatar H E Arman Issagaliyev told The Peninsula.

For Kazakhstan, the unity demonstrated during the summit is the most significant outcome. In a time when fragmentation often dominates global politics, seeing countries come together in solidarity is not just encouraging - it is essential for safeguarding justice, sovereignty, and peace.

“The discussions on September 15 carried exceptional weight. Delegates did not limit themselves to abstract principles; the voices raised in Doha expressed shared resolve and collective responsibility. The summit sent a clear message that the use of force cannot be accepted, that sovereignty is inviolable, and that humanitarian considerations must guide decisions above all else. From Kazakhstan's perspective, the event demonstrated that the countries of the region have both the moral authority and political will to act as a stabilizing force on the global stage,” Ambassador Issagaliyev said.

“Equally striking was the spirit of brotherhood and cooperation that permeated the discussions. It was not rhetoric but genuine solidarity, rooted in shared values and historical ties. Kazakhstan sees this as a foundation for long-term collaboration - ranging from humanitarian support to mediation efforts, and even the collective defence of international law. The outcomes of the summit confirm that when united, external pressures cannot erode our principles,” he added.

“The gravity of the circumstances that prompted the meeting cannot be ignored. The escalation in the Middle East, particularly the strikes against the State of Qatar, represents a clear violation of sovereignty and the norms of international law. Kazakhstan, following the position articulated by H E President Tokayev, firmly rejects these unlawful actions. No pretext can justify them; they threaten not only Qatar but the principle of sovereign equality among all nations,” the Kazakh envoy elaborated,

“The humanitarian tragedy in Gaza also demands attention. Kazakhstan has consistently called for a ceasefire and unhindered humanitarian access, he said.“We have provided financial and material support, including through the Organization for Food Security in Astana, and we urge all the OIC member states to expand assistance to the Palestinian people. The two-state solution endorsed by the UN Security Council remains the only viable path to lasting peace,” Ambassador Issagaliyev said.

“Looking back at the summit of September 15, one message is unmistakable: it reaffirmed that countries of the region can stand firm, uphold their values, and contribute to a fairer international order. Kazakhstan is proud to be part of this collective voice for peace, justice, and sustainable development,” he concluded.
