This roundtable, the first co-organized by GISR and ORSAM, explored the increasingly critical and evolving strategic partnership between Türkiye and Qatar, identifying it as a central pillar of the emerging regional security framework. Participants agreed that the relationship is a model of South-South and Muslim-Muslim cooperation, built on deep political trust and shared visions. Key conclusions highlight its role in mediation, conflict resolution, and shaping the post-war order in Gaza. The discussion also emphasized the need for a “maximalist” approach to regional cooperation to address the intertwined challenges of security and economic development, while also acknowledging the lack of homogeneity in the GCC grouping and the presence of internal stresses that may warrant a somewhat cautious approach.
