Reaffirming solidarity with the people of Türkiye and Syria, Al Thani said: "Our meeting is being held as our brothers and sisters in Türkiye and Syria continue to suffer from the effects of the huge earthquake that hit them."
He went on to say: "I would also like to confirm the need to lend assistance with no hesitation to our brotherly Syrian people."
