Qatar has reiterated its commitment to maintaining its approach and policy to solving problems, which enjoys the support of the international community.

The country promised that nothing would stop it from continuing to fulfil its legal and moral obligations to help needy people, work with its international partners to meet common challenges and continue its efforts to resolve disputes by peaceful means, despite the ongoing illegal siege of Qatar, according to HE Sheikha Alya Ahmed bin Saif Al Thani, Qatar’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations.

She was speaking in front of a high-level forum on the culture of peace at the UN headquarters in New York, reported Gulf Times.

HE Sheikha Alia praised the inclusion of ‘dissemination of the culture of peace’ in the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals of 2030, particularly the 16th goal, pointing that the Qatar attached great importance to it, according to The Peninsula.

She pointed out that the Doha International Center for Interfaith Dialogue actively contributes to efforts of combating extremism and hatred and to building bridges of cooperation and understanding between followers of different religions.

The Hamad bin Khalifa Islamic Center, established by the state in Copenhagen, Denmark, also contributes to international efforts to promote peaceful co-existence among religions.

In the context of international efforts to combat violent extremism and terrorism, Sheikh Alia said Qatar adopted a cooperative approach and addresses the root causes of violent extremism, particularly among youth by focusing on education.
