HE Prime Minister of Finland Juha Sipila affirmed that the relations between the State of Qatar and his country is developing constantly in various fields, praising Qatar's efforts in mediating and resolving regional and international disputes.
In an interview with Qatari daily Al-Sharq, the Prime Minister said that Doha Forum 2017 is an example of Qatar's role in supporting humanitarian efforts in various regions of the world, noting that the forum discussed issues of great importance because it addressed issues of development and stability, and most importantly the issue of refugees which has become a global concern.

On the Syrian refugees issue, the Prime Minister of Finland said that his country is working towards achieving peace through political solutions so that the Syrian refugees can return to their country as soon as possible, noting that number of asylum seekers reached to about 32 thousands in 2015.
