LONDON: Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al-Thani, the Qatari prime minister and minister of foreign affairs, discussed strengthening cooperation with his Omani counterpart, Sayyid Badr bin Hamad Al-Busaidi, during a meeting on the sidelines of the 80th session of the UN General Assembly in New York on Thursday.

Discussions also focused on the latest developments in Gaza and the Palestinian territories, according to the Qatar News Agency.

Sheikh Mohammed emphasized the need for intensified regional and international efforts to achieve de-escalation in the region through dialogue and peaceful means, the QNA added.

The Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani addressed the General Assembly on Tuesday, denouncing the Israeli airstrikes on his country’s capital, Doha, earlier this month that targeted Hamas negotiators.

He described the Israeli actions in Gaza as genocide, and highlighted Qatar’s mediating role in securing the release of hostages.
