Brussels: Qatar participated in the 10th meeting of Permanent Representatives to the League of Arab States and Ambassadors of the Political and Security Committee of the Council of the European Union (EU), held yesterday in Brussels.

The State of Qatar's delegation was headed by Acting Charge d'Affaires at the Embassy of the State of Qatar to the Arab Republic of Egypt and Permanent Representative to the League of Arab States, Maryam Ahmed Al Shaibi.

The meeting discussed the course of the Arab-European dialogue and ways to strengthen political and security consultation channels in light of the rapid regional and international developments. They also reviewed the most prominent issues, foremost among them the Palestinian issue, in addition to the latest developments in Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Sudan, Somalia and Yemen and their humanitarian and security implications.

The meeting also followed up on issues of security in the Red Sea, water security, migration, refugees and displaced persons, and the Ukrainian crisis and its repercussions on regional and international security.

In this context, Al Shaibi affirmed the State of Qatar's firm commitment to continuing its diplomatic and humanitarian efforts to support the Palestinian people, stressing that dialogue and a political solution are the only way to end the conflict and achieve a just and comprehensive peace.

She also reviewed Qatar's ongoing mediation efforts in coordination with both the Arab Republic of Egypt and the United States of America, which resulted in previous understandings and truces, prisoner and hostage exchanges, and the entry of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip, noting that the Sharm El Sheikh Peace Summit represented a turning point that resulted in a ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip.

Al Shaibi expressed Qatar's appreciation to regional and international partners for their cooperation, stressing Doha's commitment to continuing to work towards achieving a just and sustainable peace that preserves the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people.

She also emphasized that humanitarian efforts are inseparable from political solutions, and that ending the suffering of the Palestinians requires a cessation of aggression and urgent international action to address the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

Qatar will remain committed to its approach as a mediating and peace-making state, Al Shaibi added.
