BAKU, Azerbaijan, April 14. It is “still too early” to focus on a solution regarding the Strait of Hormuz, and attention should instead be directed towards stopping the fighting, Qatar’s Foreign Ministry spokesman al-Ansari says TurkicWorld reports via aljazeera.
He stressed that historically there had been no problem in the Strait of Hormuz and argued the current debate should centre on “sustainable security” and the “safety of navigation”.
Al-Ansari noted that the war’s impact on energy prices is being felt worldwide, with additional consequences for exports, but said Qatar will ultimately emerge from the crisis.
Moreover, the spokesman condemned attacks on Lebanese sovereignty and voiced support for international efforts to reduce escalation.
Al-Ansari added that Doha remains in contact with all parties, including Lebanon, and that messages are still being exchanged between Iran and Pakistan after talks in Islamabad.
