THE State of Qatar is open to the world and welcomes jurists and human rights organisations, unlike other countries in the region, the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs HE Lolwah al Khater has said.
In an open debate at the 2019 Global Security Forum, Khater criticised the “bloc politics” approach in the region, saying Qatar always tries to soften that policy as this policy pursues biased attitudes that harm those living in the region.
She stressed the importance of verifying a piece of information when it arrives, accepting differences and diversity of point of views, and not to deliberately publish misleading news.
Khater doubted the possibility of the continuation of authoritarian regimes and their full control over the messages and information in the countries governed by those regimes.
On who owns the true story, she said the blockading countries are making many false accusations against Qatar, and therefore, the information they are giving is not true.
With regard to the possibility of unifying all policies and visions with other Gulf States, she stressed the need to agree upon the basic principles governing the relationships between these countries.
There can be no perfect match in all policies and visions, and in case of disagreements, mechanisms should be followed to discuss and resolve such disputes, she pointed out.
Khater added that the basic GCC law has provisions for dealing with internal disputes based on respect for each other.
Regarding the possibility of negotiations to end the blockade imposed on Qatar, she praised Kuwait’s efforts in this regard. She added that every time there’s hope for solution, one of the blockading countries sends a hostile message.
Regarding Qatar’s position on the US-Iran tensions and the possibility of military confrontation between the two countries, she said the whole world would be affected in case of military escalation.
