Qatar Urges Diplomacy and Collective Security at Italy Forum on EU-GCC Relations
Milan | May 8, 2026
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.

Statement | Qatar Condemns, Denounces Blatant Iranian Attack on Ras Laffan Industrial City
Doha | March 18, 2026
The State of Qatar expresses its strong condemnation and denunciation of the blatant Iranian attack targeting Ras Laffan Industrial City, which caused fires resulting in significant damage to the facility.
It describes the attack as a dangerous escalation, a flagrant violation of state sovereignty, and a direct threat to its national security and regional stability.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs affirms that despite Qatar's policy of distancing itself from this war since its outset and its commitment to avoiding any escalation, the Iranian side continues to target it and neighboring countries in an irresponsible approach that undermines regional security and threatens international peace.
The ministry stresses that Qatar has repeatedly called for the need to refrain from targeting civilian and energy facilities, including within the territory of the Islamic Republic of Iran, in order to preserve the resources of the region's peoples and safeguard international peace and security. However, the Iranian side continues its escalatory policies that are pushing the region toward the brink and drawing countries not party to this crisis into the conflict zone.
The ministry affirms that this attack constitutes a violation of UN Security Council Resolution No. (2817), renewing its call on the Council to assume its responsibilities in maintaining international peace and security and to take the necessary measures to stop these serious violations and deter their perpetrators.
The ministry also reiterates that the State of Qatar reserves its right to respond in accordance with Article (51) of the United Nations Charter and the right to self-defense as guaranteed by international law, stressing that it will not hesitate to take all necessary measures to protect its sovereignty, security, and the safety of its citizens and residents.

بيان | دولة قطر تدين وتستنكر الاستهداف الإيراني الغاشم لمدينة رأس لفان الصناعية
الدوحة | 18 مارس 2026
تعرب دولة قطر عن إدانتها واستنكارها الشديدين للاستهداف الإيراني الغاشم الذي استهدف مدينة رأس لفان الصناعية، وتسبب في حرائق نتجت عنها أضرار جسيمة في المنشأة، وتعدّ هذا الاعتداء تصعيداً خطيراً وانتهاكاً صارخاً لسيادة الدولة وتهديداً مباشراً لأمنها الوطني واستقرار المنطقة.
وتؤكد وزارة الخارجية أن دولة قطر، ورغم نأيها بنفسها عن هذه الحرب منذ بدايتها، وحرصها على عدم الانخراط في أي تصعيد، إلا أن الجانب الإيراني يصرّ على استهدافها واستهداف دول الجوار، في نهج غير مسؤول يقوّض الأمن الإقليمي ويهدد السلم الدولي.
وتشدد الوزارة على أن دولة قطر دعت مراراً إلى ضرورة عدم استهداف المنشآت المدنية ومنشآت الطاقة، بما في ذلك في أراضي الجمهورية الإسلامية الإيرانية، حفاظاً على مقدرات شعوب المنطقة وصوناً للأمن والسلم الدوليين، إلا أن الجانب الإيراني يواصل سياساته التصعيدية التي تدفع بالمنطقة نحو الهاوية، وتزج بدول ليست طرفاً في هذه الأزمة في دائرة الصراع.
وتؤكد الوزارة أن هذا الاعتداء يشكّل خرقاً لقرار مجلس الأمن رقم (2817)، مجددةً دعوتها لمجلس الأمن إلى تحمّل مسؤولياته في حفظ السلم والأمن الدوليين، واتخاذ الإجراءات اللازمة لوقف هذه الانتهاكات الخطيرة وردع مرتكبيها.
وتجدد الوزارة التأكيد على أن دولة قطر تحتفظ بحقها في الرد، وفقاً للمادة (51) من ميثاق الأمم المتحدة، وبما يكفله القانون الدولي من حق الدفاع عن النفس، مشددة على أنها لن تتهاون في اتخاذ كافة الإجراءات اللازمة لحماية سيادتها و��منها وسلامة مواطنيها والمقيمين على أراضيها.

HE @MBA_AlThani_ in an interview with SkyNews:
All our European partners have been providing us with significant support, whether it's politically, whether it's in any of the supply chain issues that we have. The United Kingdom has provided an outstanding support for Qatar. We have the joint squadron working together with our pilots. And we are very grateful for for this partnership and for this alliance.
#MOFAQatar
HE @MBA_AlThani_ in an interview with SkyNews:
Our message to the Iranians, they have to stop the attacks right away. It should stop instantly. What happened is really a huge shakeup for the trust in the relationship that we have with Iran. We will continue talking to the Iranians. We will continue trying to seek de-escalation. At the end of the day, they are our neighbors. It's a destiny. My message to them is you shouldn't include or involve any of the other countries in this world in order also to be able to be helped in the escalating the situation. If these attacks are ongoing there, there will be no one able to help them or to even to start voicing some reason because everyone is busy engaging in defending their countries.
#MOFAQatar
HE @MBA_AlThani_ in an interview with SkyNews:
Of course, the way it started right away, after the war started, it was showing that these missiles were directed to us at the end of the day. And why would they use it? We are not hostile countries towards them. We've been always trying to help and to support any efforts to find a diplomatic solution to lift the sanctions.
We would like to see the Iranian people flourish. We know that, at the end of the day, the Iranian people are the ones affected by all these turmoils, and we would like to see them stable, we would like to see them peaceful, and we would like to live in peace with them.
#MOFAQatar
HE @MBA_AlThani_ in an interview with SkyNews:
But we got really shocked when the attacks were massively against UAE and Bahrain in the afternoon while we were working, at the same time, with other GCC countries to come out collectively expressing that this is what we want to see. We would like to see what the president said in action. And our countries don't want to be part of this war and we would like to see them stopping right away. And we will always prefer diplomatic solution. But while we were discussing that with other GCC colleagues, they were under attack.
