Secretary General of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) H E Dr Nayef Falah M. Al Hajraf denounced the statements of the Minister of Interior of the Federal Republic of Germany, Nancy Wieser, regarding Qatar’s hosting of the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
He affirmed the position of the GCC states in support of the State of Qatar in addressing any interference in its internal affairs by publishing allegations that do not serve the establishment of normal relations between the two countries, as a violation of diplomatic norms, traditions and international laws.
The Secretary General added that the State of Qatar is heading toward making new successes and hosting the 2022 World Cup is a source of deserved pride, praising at the same time the pioneering role played by the State of Qatar in building civilised communication and promoting understanding between nations in a framework of mutual respect.
