He heaped praise on Doha's key role in supporting dialogue and understanding, as well as reinforcing stability and development in the region.

The Algerian Speaker further lauded the State of Qatar's enduring positions in supporting the Palestinian people, along with its humanitarian and diplomatic efforts to halt the aggression and lift the suffering of the civilians.

These positions literally embody an initial approach that underpins the Qatari policy in espousing just causes, His Excellency underlined.

Both sides discussed relations between the two countries and ways to strengthen them, as well as a raft of subjects of shared interest, foremost among them the developments in the Gaza Strip, along with the profound, dire humanitarian and political developments unfolding there. The two sides also underlined the importance of concerted regional and global parliamentary efforts in supporting the Palestinian people to regain their legitimate rights, first and foremost, the establishment of their independent state on the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital.

They further stressed the importance of steadily moving forward the parliamentary actions toward strengthening justice and peace, in addition to galvanizing global positions that support efforts to end the suffering of civilians and achieve stability in the region.
