Qatar’s Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani has had a phone call with German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul, during which they reviewed bilateral cooperation and the latest regional developments, Al Jazeera reports.

The pair discussed diplomatic efforts and coordination to de-escalate tensions and enhance regional security and stability, the Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs says in a statement.

Sheikh Mohammed stresses the need for all parties to commit to “dialogue and diplomacy” and implement what was agreed under the memorandum of understanding between the US and Iran — including guaranteeing freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz — to preserve regional security, safeguard gains made and strengthen stability.

He renews Qatar’s “full support” for all efforts to defuse tensions and reach a “comprehensive agreement” for lasting peace in the region.
