Turkiye's foreign minister to visit Qatar for talks on Iran war: report

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan will visit Qatar tomorrow for talks on the Iran war, its impact on the Gulf and efforts to ensure navigational safety in the Strait of Hormuz, Reuters reports, citing a Turkish diplomatic source.

Fidan, who last visited Doha in March and held two separate calls with Iran’s foreign minister over the weekend, will repeat Turkiye’s support for its ally Qatar against attacks from Iran, the source said.

He will voice Ankara’s expectation for navigational safety to be ensured on the Strait of Hormuz and point to the critical need of doing so for regional security and economic stability, the source said.

Fidan is expected to “state that permanently resolving the conflict in the Gulf is the most urgent priority and exchange views on diplomatic initiatives to achieve this”, the source added.
