Great discussions yesterday and today in Milan, with my friend @majedalansari and impressive lineup of experts brought together by @ispionline and @DohaForum. I called for a region-led diplomatic solution, and spoke about EU contribution.

During my participation in this important session in Milan on EU–GCC relations, alongside my dear friend @EUSR_Gulf, I highlighted that EU–GCC relations are more vital than ever in today’s environment of regional instability, where coordination across security, energy, & trade is increasingly essential.

On May 8, 2026, Dr. Christian Koch, Executive Manager of the Brussels Office and Director of Research at the Gulf Research Center Foundation Brussels (GRCF-B), and Hannan Alghamdi, Researcher at the Gulf Research Center (GRC), participated in the closed-door session “EU-GCC Cooperation: Bridging Stability in an Era of Fragmentation,” organized by ISPI @ispionline and CIPR @CIPResearch as part of the MED Dialogues / Doha Forum @DohaForum discussions held in Milan. During the second panel, “A Post-Conflict Regional Order: The Levant,” Hannan Alghamdi spoke on developments in Syria, the evolving regional role of the GCC, and the importance of EU-GCC coordination in supporting long-term regional stability and institutional recovery.

تشرفت بالمشاركة أمس في ورشة عمل استضافها @CIPResearch ومركز الدراسات والسياسات الخارجية والمبادرات الدولية في #أوزبكستان، لتعزيز الحوار بين آسيا الوسطى ودول #الخليج. من الطيران والاقتصاد الرقمي إلى رأس المال البشري، لا تكمن ميزة قطر في رأس المال فقط، بل في التميز التشغيلي والمعرفة المؤسسية القادرة على الإسهام في تشكيل الأطر الناشئة. لا شك أن العلاقات الثنائية بين البلدين ليست بعد قائمة على الحجم، لكنها رهان تموضعي يحمل أقصى إمكانات الصعود الاستراتيجي. سعيد بالنقاشات التي جاءت في توقيت دولي مهم وبالتوازي مع زيارة وزير خارجية أوزبكستان إلى #قطر.

Honored to participate yesterday in a workshop hosted by @CIPResearch and #Uzbekistan’s CFPS, advancing Central Asia and GCC dialogue. From aviation and digital to human capital, Qatar’s advantage lies not only in capital, but in operational excellence and institutional know-how that can help shape emerging frameworks. Bilateral relations between the two countries are not yet a volume relationship, but a positioning play with maximum strategic upside. Timely discussions in line with the visit of Uzbekistan’s Foreign Minister to Qatar.

وقّع مركز أبحاث السياسات الدولية #CIPR مذكرة تفاهم مع مركز دراسات السياسة الخارجية والمبادرات الدولية (CFPS) لتعزيز التعاون في مجالات البحث والحوار والمبادرات المشتركة، بما يدعم العلاقات بين #قطر و #أوزبكستان.
