New York: Qatar has reaffirmed its steadfast support for the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations (UNAOC) Group of Friends, participating in a high-level meeting held on the sidelines of the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly.
Representing Qatar at the gathering was H E Sheikha Hanouf bint Abdulrahman Al-Thani, the Director of the International Organizations Department at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. She emphasized Qatar's commitment to the Alliance's mission of fostering dialogue, understanding, and mutual respect, especially in the face of the escalating spread of hate speech, racism, Islamophobia, and other manifestations of intolerance worldwide.
Sheikha Hanouf also underscored Qatar's backing for UN General Assembly Resolution 76/254, which established March 15 as the International Day to Combat Islamophobia. She stressed the significance of enhancing multilateral cooperation to tackle hate speech and intolerance, advocating for the harnessing of the digital space and ensuring technology serves to bridge divides rather than widen them.
The envoy highlighted the intrinsic link between dialogue and sustainable development, advocating for investments in education, youth empowerment, and economic and social opportunities to cultivate more peaceful and resilient societies.
