Qatar’s Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani and French President Emmanuel Macron have discussed developments related to Iran and wider regional tensions during a phone call, Qatar’s Amiri Diwan said.
According to a statement released by the Qatari royal court, the two leaders reviewed ways to further strengthen strategic cooperation between Qatar and France across a range of sectors, while also exchanging views on the latest regional and international developments.
The call focused in particular on efforts to de-escalate tensions in the Middle East, including recent developments surrounding Iran and their implications for regional security, the statement said.
