Qatar's Emir, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani, communicated to Russian President Vladimir Putin the willingness of Syria's new leader to foster strong relations with Moscow. The statement underscores Sheikh Tamim's diplomatic efforts, particularly crucial as Russia seeks to secure its strategic hold in Syria following President Bashar al-Assad's ousting.

Additionally, their talks touched on the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict, highlighting Qatar's pivotal role in seeking peaceful resolutions, despite setbacks in enforcing earlier ceasefire agreements. The discussions also embraced the serious humanitarian and political challenges facing Syria, committing both nations to collaborate on sustaining Syria's sovereignty and integrity.

The two leaders extended their conversation to the Ukrainian crisis, praising Qatar's mediation initiatives in the conflict. This includes efforts to reunite families separated by the war. Despite U.S. aspirations to resolve the conflict, a sustainable peace remains elusive, reflecting the complexity of achieving diplomatic breakthroughs in such turbulent regions.
