Turkey, Qatar Coordinate on Afghanistan

Turkey and Qatar are coordinating together on the Afghan issue, the Turkish ambassador in Doha said on Tuesday.

Ankara and Doha “consistently discuss the humanitarian conditions and the security and political developments in Afghanistan given its significance to the Afghan people and international peace and security,” Mustafa Goksu told the Qatari daily Al Raya.

“There is a fruitful cooperation between Turkey and Qatar on the operation of Kabul airport as it is considered a lifeline for those who are stranded in Afghanistan,” Goksu said, noting that cooperation has been ongoing between the two countries on providing technical support for operating the airport.
