Of course, there are so many aspects political, economic, cultural and the exchange in commerce and investment and cooperation in the field of energy and gas. We in qatar always look forward to more cooperation with russia. I spoke with the minister and i said that we have big responsibilities towards our peoples. Particularly within the challenges in the region. This needs cooperation in order to chief peace, welfare and security in our countries. Thats why we spot today and we exshake our viewpoints with developments and incidents in the international and regional levels. The purpose of maintaining and keeping International Peace and security in russia has a big role to do this. Of course, you know, the practices in the middle east took a lot of our talks today, and the Syrian Crisis was on top of the agenda of our talks. We are trying to narrow the gap in regard to the different points of view. In this regard i would like to say that we are about to start a political process. We will build upon what we have seen in geneva, otherwise we will go into a vicious circle. Ings amongst the points that we agreed with the russians, the problem in this regard will never be for the benefit of any party. We now know that paying time or selling time will hit everyone include the Syrian People. We know that the Syrian People have relations with the russian people and also the humanitarian side is quite important to this. Thats why we have to go through the political process and we need to be serious in order to sort out this ongoing problem and crisis. I would like also to say that the state of qatar has a position regarding certain elements to sort the crisis. The importance of having a position in the governing body with all capacities.

I hope the new year will be more cooperate between the two countries. More groupings between the two countries you have been watching a joint press conference happening in moscow after the two Foreign Ministers of qatar and moscow had a meeting. They had a meeting and talked about a number of things. At first it seemed like it was going to be about business because thats what lavrov talked about, but what was clear the top of the agenda was coming to some sort of resolution to the fiveyear conflict in syria. They also touched on iraq and bringing resolution and some sort of stability to the region in general. Al jazeera peter sharp has been listening in as well. Is this a Natural Partnership between the two countries . Reporter they certainly did agree on the major issue at this conference of the its the first time that the qatar foreign minister came to moscow and they worked solidly as one when it came to trying to sort out the road map and the syrian problem. The qatary foreign minister said that the Transitional Government is the key to peace in the region. He stressed time and time again that the political process has got to move forward if theyre going to bring about some sort of peace in syria. He also linked it with iraq and said once the syrian situation is sorted out, then iraq can be sorted out too and went on to condemn the Israeli Occupation in palestine. These talks, weve seen a parade of Foreign Ministers from the gulf states coming through moscow and it has reinforced, i think, moscows role, its new role, resurgent role in playing a major part in trying to bring the situation in syria to a peaceful end true, but has it not been the moscow for the most part seemed to have been anal lie of bashar alassad, but thats not necessarily the case with many of the arab nations that are involved. Reporter thats true. Moscow has made it very, very clear that it remains convinced that the future of syria should be left to the people of syria and although i think it is accepted here in the kremlin that there is no longterm future for president bashar alassad, they still would like to see him in place at the start of the transitional talks, but unlikely to play a role after that also another issue that lavrov touched on was dealing with the iran nuclear, and im not sure if you heard this, im not sure if he said iran Nuclear Program or iran nuclear problem. Did you get any clarification on that peter . Reporter i really didnt. I was having a lot of trouble with lavrovs translation, im sorry there all right. In wrapping this up going forward, it seems these two countries really have top of mind, but it seems many countries do, to some sort of resolution to the fiveyear conflict, in particular, the qatar minister made a point about talking about the humanitarian toll this has taken on the health of Syrian People.
