Qatar calls for a “positive” and “constructive” spirit to help consolidate the US-Iran deal
The Prime Minister and Foreign Minister of Qatar, Mohamed bin Abdulrahman al Thani, has assured that his country “welcomes” the provisional peace agreement announced and confirmed this Sunday by the United States and Iran, while calling on “all parties” involved to participate in the upcoming negotiations in a “positive” and “constructive” spirit in order to “consolidate” it.
“We welcome the agreement reached on the Memorandum of Understanding between the United States and the Islamic Republic of Iran,” indicated the Qatari authority in a message published on social networks, in which he advocated that “all parties participate in the upcoming negotiations with a positive and constructive spirit that helps consolidate this progress and continue to advance on the basis of it.”
Subsequently, the Prime Minister of Qatar has expressed his “gratitude” to Pakistan, whose counterpart in Islamabad, Shebhaz Sharif, is a great mediator of the talks to achieve peace, as well as to “all regional and international parties” that have contributed to the achievement of this understanding between Washington and Tehran.
“We reaffirm that the State of Qatar will continue to be a firm defender of these efforts and of all initiatives aimed at reinforcing security and stability at the regional and international level through dialogue and peaceful means,” stated the Qatari leader.
This Sunday, a delegation from Qatar arrived in Tehran as a representative of one of the main international mediators in the war between Iran, the United States and Israel. His arrival in the Islamic Republic was then confirmed by the semi-official Iranian agency Tasnim, a media outlet linked to the Revolutionary Guard, which stated that the reason was to “review the latest events related to the diplomatic process” and “consult with officials of the Islamic Republic of Iran.”
That same delegation, according to the Iranian agency, has already left the Asian country, after about 17 hours of “intense negotiations” that have led to the announcement of an agreement between Washington and Tehran, the signing of which is scheduled for June 19 in Switzerland. (EP)
