Qatar’s policy under the leadership of the Amir His Highness Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani is based on respecting the principles of international laws, strengthening cooperation and friendship among countries and helping them overcome challenges posed by natural disasters, said Speaker of the Shura Council HE Ahmed bin Abdullah bin Zaid Al Mahmoud.
Mahmoud was speaking during the Fifth World Conference of Speakers of Parliament, which began on Wednesday via video conferencing.
The conference will continue for two days.
The speaker of the Shura Council explained that this conference, organised by the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU), in cooperation with the United Nations (UN) and the Austrian Parliament, is of great importance and considered one of the most significant parliamentary events, as it brings together the speakers of parliaments in the world and provides an opportunity for exchanging ideas and experiences that are beneficial for parliamentary work.
Mahmoud highlighted the role of parliamentary diplomacy in enhancing cooperation between peoples and contributing to achieving international peace and security and resolving international disputes and issues by diplomatic means in accordance with the principles of international law.
He also noted the pivotal role that parliaments play in achieving sustainable development goals in order to liberate the world’s nations from the clutches of poverty, wars and absence of progress and development.
He addressed the preventive and precautionary measures taken by Qatar to curb the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and provide treatment and care to all citizens and residents in the country, stressing Qatar’s commitment to its humanitarian stances towards states and peoples, on top of which are the Palestinian people, who are suffering from blockade and arbitrary measures imposed by the occupying entity.
The Shura speaker added that Qatar has provided various types of material and moral support, including providing field hospitals, drugs and equipment to a number of countries, the most recent of which is to Lebanon after the Beirut port explosion incident. He affirmed in this regard the keenness of Qatar to strengthen its support to the UN and its various bodies in the humanitarian field.
Mahmoud stressed the importance of supporting and strengthening the role of the Inter-Parliamentary Union and giving it all the means that enable it to achieve the goals for which it was established.
The Fifth World Conference of Speakers of Parliament, in which Secretary-General of the UN Antonio Guterres will prticipate, discusses issues of health, climate, economy, science and technology, as well as the participation of women and youths in political and parliamentary work, issues of democracy and the changing role of parliaments in the 21st century, in addition to improving governance and combating terrorism and extremism.
