According to the Kremlin website on October 27, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Qatari Emir Tamim met on the same day during the Moscow “Natural Gas Exporters Forum” summit. Putin pointed out that Qatar plays an important role in mediating various crisis situations, including the situation in the Persian Gulf, and that coordination between Russia and Canada has been strengthened on the international stage. The memorandum of understanding between the US and Iran, which was brokered by Qatar and Pakistan, remains valid as a basis for advancing the negotiation process. From the beginning of the Iranian conflict, Russia advocated stopping military action and seeking a political and diplomatic solution, and is prepared to take all measures within its power to help resolve the issue. Tamim said that the Middle East is currently going through a difficult period, and the tension between the US and Iran is having negative effects and consequences for the entire region, including the Strait of Hormuz crisis and the energy sector crisis. Qatar values and expects Russia to mediate the situation in the Strait of Hormuz and other regional crises, including the Palestinian issue and the humanitarian issues in Gaza. In terms of economic cooperation, Putin said that both Russia and Qatar are major natural gas producers and exporters, and the stability of the global energy market largely depends on cooperation and coordination between the two countries. Tamim said that relations between the two countries have developed actively in the past ten years in the fields of economy and investment, and Qatar's investment in Russia has been significant.
