New York: The State of Qatar has affirmed that preventing the outbreak of conflicts and resolving them through peaceful means is among its top priorities in its foreign policy, in implementation of the wise vision of HH the Amir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani.

This came in a statement by the Permanent Representative of the State of Qatar to the United Nations HE Sheikha Alya Ahmed bin Saif Al Thani during an open debate of the United Nations Security Council on ''Promoting Conflict Prevention - Empowering All Actors Including Women and Youth,'' at the UN headquarters in New York.

Her Excellency stated that Qatar's rich and successful record in mediation, which includes a wide range of cases, from peaceful conflict resolution to border dispute settlements and reuniting children with their families, is a testament to its dedication to resolving international crises and investing in peace.

Her Excellency conveyed Qatar's appreciation to the Secretary-General of the United Nations for giving priority to conflict prevention in the new peace plan, affirming Qatar's strong support for its inclusion in the Charter for the Future.

She emphasized that Qatar's commitment to finding solutions to international crises goes beyond negotiations and mediation, as Qatar believes firmly that preventing conflicts should address their root causes. She explained that the Sustainable Development Plan 2030 provides a comprehensive framework for addressing the multifaceted factors of conflict and violence.
