Qatar: Qatar reaffirmed its commitment to playing an active international role and continuing its mediation efforts, which have contributed, through its UN-sponsored hosting of meetings of special envoys on Afghanistan and priority working groups, to strengthening international consensus on key issues by providing an inclusive platform for dialogue and coordination. The statement emphasized Qatar's firm belief that constructive dialogue is the best path toward achieving peace.

According to Qatar News Agency, this statement was delivered by Acting Charge d'Affaires of the Permanent Mission of Qatar to the United Nations in Geneva, Jawhara bint Abdulaziz Al Suwaidi, during the enhanced interactive dialogue on Afghanistan as part of the 61st session of the United Nations Human Rights Council. Al Suwaidi highlighted efforts to build practical and effective dialogue between the Afghan caretaker government and the international community to meet humanitarian and development needs, contribute to stability, and create conditions that enable Afghanistan to achieve internal peace, strengthen good-neighborly relations, fully reintegrate into the international community, and fulfill its international commitments.

She pointed out the complex challenges Afghanistan faces, which directly impact the promotion and protection of human rights. These include the economic crisis, unemployment, rising humanitarian needs, recurring climate disturbances, widespread poverty, and food insecurity, alongside the continuation of sanctions and asset freezes and the return of millions of refugees to the country.

Acting Charge d'Affaires emphasized that Afghanistan is undergoing a delicate phase that requires a balanced collective approach toward the situation in the country. This approach should combine urgent humanitarian response with responsible political engagement to meet the Afghan people's aspirations for security, stability, and development.
