The government also recognized Qatar’s significant role in facilitating dialogue in the Middle East and urged all sides to exercise restraint, avoid further escalation, and recommit to peaceful negotiations.
Extending sympathy to those affected, Nigeria reiterated its support for measures that promote de-escalation and lasting peace.
The statement further affirmed the country’s readiness to collaborate with the international community, through the United Nations and other multilateral platforms, to uphold peace, security, and the rule of law across the Middle East and beyond.
