Qatar welcomes greater attention Security Council, United Nations paid to strengthen sustainable peace

New York: The State of Qatar welcomed the greater attention the Security Council and the United Nations in general have paid to strengthen the foundations of sustainable peace, expressing its belief that the most effective way to prevent such differences in the long term is to spread a culture of peace and tolerance among members of societies and to promote quality education for all.

This came in a statement addressed by HE Permanent Representative of the State of Qatar to the United Nations Ambassador Sheikha Alya Ahmed bin Saif Al-Thani to the UN Security Council, which held an official meeting chaired by HE President of the Republic of Kenya Uhuru Kenyatta, who is the Security Council President for the month of October to discuss "Diversity, State-building and the search for peace", under the "Peacebuilding and Sustaining Peace" agenda item.

The statement of the State of Qatar stated that spreading peace and tolerance among members of societies, and promoting quality education for all can only be achieved by educating girls, stressing that supporting the right to education is of greater importance in situations of conflict and emergency.
