Doha's top diplomat warns of mounting economic and security costs as regional instability deepens
Qatar's Advisor to the Prime Minister and Official Spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Dr. Majed bin Mohammed Al Ansari, urged regional powers to prioritise diplomacy over military action during a panel discussion at Chatham House's annual London Conference on Thursday.
Speaking on the panel "The New Geopolitics of the Middle East," Dr. Al Ansari said the region was not facing a temporary crisis but a cycle of recurring escalation demanding comprehensive diplomatic solutions.
Qatar's Mediation Role
Despite being directly affected by regional conflict, Qatar remains committed to its mediator role, he said, stressing that military solutions cannot deliver lasting peace.
Dr. Al Ansari warned that continued escalation threatened energy security, supply chains, and international trade across all regional states.
He called for reviving the diplomatic process to enable sustainable political settlements, economic integration, and rebuilt trust among regional nations.
