Qatar ruler urges cooperation to overcome crises
ISTANBUL (AA) – Qatar’s Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani said Tuesday that overcoming crises worldwide requires cooperation, justice and rejection of double standards.
Speaking at the opening of Qatar Economic Forum 2022 in the capital Doha, Tamim said the forum aims at “enriching dialogue on the strategic issues that are at the forefront of priorities for the global economy.”
“The food crisis should neither be left to the law of supply and demand nor should the issue of extreme poverty be left to the poor countries to face alone,” he added.
The forum is attended by a host of world leaders, including the presidents of Kazakhstan, Namibia and Togo and Sierra Leone.
The event is expected to address several topics, including adapting technology to the service of economy and the reliance on technology as an economic tool.
Last year’s forum was attended by heads of state, government officials, experts and representatives of international organizations from 120 countries.
