LONDON: Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al-Thani, the prime minister and minister of foreign affairs of Qatar, discussed regional developments with Helen McEntee, the Irish minister for foreign affairs, trade, and defense.
The two ministers discussed diplomatic efforts to improve security and stability in the Middle East after a memorandum of understanding between the US and Iran last month ended over 100 days of conflict.
Following the meeting in Doha, an MoU was signed by Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Sultan bin Saad Al-Muraikhi and McEntee, establishing political consultations between the Qatari and Irish ministries of foreign affairs.
Qatar was among 10 countries targeted by Iran with missile and drone attacks after Feb. 28, when the US and Israel launched a war against Tehran.
Qatar and Pakistan acted as mediators between US and Iranian negotiators to establish a ceasefire agreement in June, which started negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program and the freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz.
