Qatar calls for redoubling efforts to achieve peace in Syria

The Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, said: “A decade has passed since the crisis in Syria, which began with a peaceful uprising and turned into a humanitarian catastrophe due to the war. The continuation of the crisis poses great risks to Syria itself and to peace and security in the region and the world, including That exacerbates the threat of terrorism.”

This came during his speech, yesterday, Tuesday, at the opening of the work of the seventy-sixth session of the United Nations General Assembly.

The prince added: “It is not permissible to neglect the Syrian issue, nor should the international community turn its back on the suffering of the Syrian people, as happened recently during the bombing of the city of Daraa and others.”

He called on the international community to “redouble its efforts to end this crisis, through a peaceful solution in accordance with the Geneva Declaration 1, implementing Security Council Resolution 2254 with all its components and preserving Syria’s regional and national unity, sovereignty and independence.”
This morning, Tuesday, the 76th session of the United Nations General Assembly began under exceptional measures due to the Corona pandemic.
