Qatar calls for dialogue to secure global gas supply
DOHA, Qatar (AA) – Qatar’s Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani on Tuesday called for more dialogue to ensure the security of global gas supplies amid signs of a natural gas crisis in Europe due to escalating tensions between Russia and the West.
The Qatari ruler made the call during the Sixth Summit of the Gas Exporting Countries Forum, which is taking place in the capital Doha.
“The summit is held today amidst the continued challenges posed by coronavirus pandemic for more than two years, leaving its imprint on various aspects of human life around the world,” Tamim said.
The three-day summit, which started on Sunday, is held at a time when Europe is at risk of a natural gas crisis in the event war erupts between Russia and Ukraine, which is backed by the West.
