Pakistan and Qatar on Wednesday discussed the situation in West Asia amid rising tensions in the region.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif received a phone call from the ruler of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, according to an official statement.
“Recent Middle East Developments Discussed”
“Recent developments in the Middle East were also discussed,” it said.
The Prime Minister praised Qatar’s constructive and proactive role in promoting peace, dialogue and mediation throughout the region and acknowledged its meaningful efforts to ease tensions through diplomatic solutions.
He assured the Qatari leadership that Pakistan would continue to play a positive role in maintaining regional peace and stability.
During their warm and cordial conversation, the two leaders expressed satisfaction with the current trajectory of Pakistan-Qatar bilateral relations and reaffirmed their joint determination to further strengthen these time-tested brotherly bonds.
The two leaders agreed to remain in close contact in the coming days.
The phone conversation came as Iran faced a barrage of threats from US President Donald Trump over recent unrest in the country. Although the intensity of the protests has decreased, there has been no change in the US attitude towards Tehran.
