The Emir HH Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al Thani will deliver a speech at the opening session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York on Tuesday.
The Emir's UNGA speeches are watched with great interest at international, regional and local levels.
His speeches have offered Qatar's vision on all international and regional issues and have been universally appreciated.
As Qatar has been subjected to an unjust blockade by the Saudi Arabia-led bloc, the Emir's speech is also likely to touch upon the ongoing GCC crisis.
The other pressing issues facing the region such as the Palestinian issue and Syrian crisis also expected to figure in the Emir's speech.
Always, the Emir's speech presents an accurate diagnosis of the causes of terrorism, extremism, repression, the absence of freedom and the imposition of dictatorships in different regions.
The issue of combating terrorism has always been the main focus of his speeches, affirming that terrorism facing the world remains a threat to people and their economic and social wellbeing.
In his speeches, the Emir has always pointed out that the double standards in combating terrorism and linking it to a particular religion complicate efforts to eradicate it.
