The ministry said that attacks targeting diplomatic facilities constitute a direct violation of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations and pose a serious threat to the safety and lives of diplomatic personnel, while also undermining internationally recognised diplomatic practices.

Qatar reaffirmed its firm stance against violence and terrorism and expressed solidarity with the United Arab Emirates.

The ministry also said Doha supports efforts aimed at strengthening security and stability in Iraq and across the wider region.
