Qatar’s Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani has met Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot on the sidelines of the Burgenstock meeting in Switzerland.

The two discussed the latest developments in the Middle East with a focus on efforts to “consolidate security and stability” following the signing of the memorandum of understanding between Washington and Tehran.

Sheikh Mohammed reaffirmed Qatar’s full backing for ongoing US-Iran negotiations, saying Doha supports “dialogue and peaceful means as the path to sustainable solutions” on outstanding issues between the two sides.

“He said such efforts would help deepen regional security, elevate cooperation, development, and prosperity to new heights, and accomplish the shared interests of the peoples of the region and the world,” the foreign ministry’s statement said.
