MOFA Spokesperson Spotlights Qatar's Mediation Efforts in Cyprus Diplomatic Academy Lecture
Nicosia, April 29, 2025
The State of Qatar plays key mediation efforts to effectively counter complex and growing global challenges, said Advisor to the Prime Minister and Official Spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) Dr. Majed bin Mohammed Al Ansari.
Al Ansari's remarks came during a lecture he delivered on Tuesday at the Diplomatic Academy of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Cyprus on the State of Qatar's mediation amid global peace challenges.
As per the State of Qatar's foreign policy, mediation goes beyond being a traditional mechanism for conflict resolution to act as an innovative dynamic process that well grasps the conflict complexities and cultural backgrounds and cooperates to build sustainable and comprehensive solutions, he said.
Al Ansari added that the State of Qatar has emerged as a globally reliable and impartial mediator thanks to its proven track record and extensive experience. In this context, he highlighted Qatari mediation efforts in the Afghan crisis, where it brought the views of internal parties closer despite complex regional and humanitarian challenges, and in the Gaza Strip, where it diligently attempted to establish a permanent ceasefire despite the political pressures and malicious media campaigns it faced.
These cases have demonstrated Qatari mediation's reliance on building trust among parties and effective engagement in addressing negative external influences, which strengthens Qatar's position as a key player in efforts to consolidate global peace and security, he concluded.
