Qatar’s Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani and UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham discussed the latest regional developments, including the escalation around the Strait of Hormuz.
The two leaders spoke by telephone about bilateral relations and ways to expand cooperation between Qatar and the UK.
Their discussions also covered developments concerning the Palestinian issue and efforts towards a lasting peace based on a two-state solution.
The Strait of Hormuz was a key part of the conversation, with both sides discussing its implications for the region and international maritime navigation.
They stressed the importance of de-escalation and diplomatic solutions as tensions continue to affect shipping and energy markets.
Qatar’s role is particularly important because the country is one of the world’s major LNG exporters and a central player in Gulf diplomacy.
