New York, The Gulf Observer: Qatar’s Amir HH Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani delivered a speech at the opening session of the 77th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) at the UN Headquarters in New York on September 20, 2022.

Important points from Qatar Amir’s speech:

1. We call for a ceasefire and a peaceful solution to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
2. I reiterate our full solidarity with the brotherly Palestinian people in their aspiration for justice. The Security Council must shoulder its responsibility to compel Israel to end its occupation and establish a Palestinian state.
3. We hope that national consensus will be achieved in Iraq, Lebanon, and Yemen.
4. The United Nations should not accept that the political track on the Syrian issue can be summed up in the so-called constitutional committee under its auspices.
5. We demand the completion of the political process in Libya and agreement on the constitutional basis for elections.
6. We have repeatedly stressed the need to protect civilians in Afghanistan, women’s rights, the right to education, and reconciliation between the parties, and we have warned of the danger of isolating Afghanistan and its counterproductive consequences.
7. We are facing an unprecedented energy crisis, and nearly a billion people in the world are without a reliable primary source of energy.
8. Qatar will welcome the world in November this year when it hosts the 2022 World Cup. We are opening our doors to the teams and the fans from all over the world to enjoy football and the World Cup atmosphere full of enthusiasm and without discrimination.
