Xinhua,December 05, 2017 Adjust font size:

DOHA, Dec. 5 (Xinhua) -- A Qatari envoy said his country is playing a "leading" role in mediation efforts in the regional and international conflicts, Qatar News Agency (QNA) reported Tuesday.

The remarks were made by Mutlaq bin Majed al-Qahtani, the special envoy of Qatar's Foreign Minister for Counterterrorism and Mediation of Conflict Resolution, at a forum organized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' Diplomatic Institute on Monday evening.

''Qatar focuses its foreign policies on preventive diplomacy and the prevention of conflict and its outbreak, and plays a main and leading role in mediation to resolve conflicts,'' al-Qahtani said.

He also highlighted Qatar's efforts in providing educational opportunities to more than 7 million children in more than 47 countries.

The forum, held on the sidelines of the 7th meeting of the board of Global Community Engagement and Resilience Fund, was attended by a number of senior Qatari officials from different ministries. Enditem
