Forum
Doha Forum, Qatar’s leading
platform for dialogue and diplomacy, is taking part in this year’s Athens
Democracy Forum, held under the auspices of the United Nations and the City of
Athens. The annual gathering brings together global leaders, policymakers,
academics, business executives, journalists, and civil society figures to
debate the future of democracy and governance.
As part of its participation, Doha
Forum hosted a breakfast briefing titled “The Role of Diplomacy in Times of
Conflict.” General Manager Maha Al Kuwari opened the session, which
featured Rashid Al Mohanadi of the Middle East Council on Global Affairs in conversation
with New York Times Senior Editor Jyoti Thottam. The discussion
highlighted Qatar’s commitment to mediation and the role of diplomacy in
addressing modern conflicts.
