Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney spoke with the Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, on Monday to discuss ways to prevent the conflict from spreading to the Middle East, according to the Canadian Prime Minister's office.
During the exchange, the two leaders discussed ongoing diplomatic efforts to reduce tensions in the region and prevent a wider escalation of the conflict, as clashes involving Iran continue to worry the international community.
Qatar regularly plays a mediating role in several crises in the Middle East and maintains diplomatic relations with many regional actors, which allows it to intervene in certain dialogue initiatives.
Canada, for its part, is closely monitoring developments and participating in international discussions aimed at stabilizing the region and limiting the risks of a wider conflict.
This exchange comes amid heightened tensions in the Middle East, marked by escalating military operations and growing concerns about their impact on regional and global security.
