(MENAFN- Qatar News Agency) Cairo February 24 (QNA) - HE Advisory Council Speaker Mohamed bin Mubarak Al Khulaifi stressed that Qatar under the leadership of HH the Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani always aims to achieve peace security and stability and works to fight terrorism and uproot it regionally and globally.
Addressing the opening session of the first conference for Arab parliament speakers that kicked off Wednesday at the Arab League headquarters in Cairo HE Al Khulaifi said Qatar has hosted several conferences and meetings that serve the Arab and Islamic issues including the 12th conference on inter-faith dialogue so as to boost cooperation among peoples and civilizations based on mutual respect and understanding.
HE Al Khulaifi said the conference is taking place amid challenging circumstances regionally and globally that compel Arab parliamentarians to spare no effort in discussing the best ways to overcome them.
He called for conceptualizing a joint parliamentary vision on sustainable development and the role of Arab parliaments in this regard noting that the prime target for sustainable development is to reconcile economic development and environmental conservation while preserving the rights of future generations in natural resources.
The Advisory Council speaker said terrorism is a threat that has no religion or homeland describing it as an abhorrent plague that threatens the lives of innocent peoples and strip societies of their sense of security and safety stressing that the whole world has a collective responsibility to uproot it and dry up its sources.
He urged participants in the conference to deplore the kidnap of Qatari citizens in southern Iraq that violates human rights. (QNA)
