QNA Geneva The Permanent Mission of the State of Qatar to the United Nations Office in Geneva hosted an official ceremony to honour Rebeca Grynspan, secretary-general of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), for receiving the prestigious 'Doha Best Negotiator of the Year' award. This award, presented annually by the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR), recognises outstanding contributions to international negotiation and mediation. In her address at the ceremony, HE Dr Hend bint Abdalrahman Al Muftah, Qatar's Permanent Representative to the United Nations Office and other international organisations in Geneva, welcomed ambassadors, diplomats, and representatives of international organisations, alongside officials from UNITAR and the ADN Group—an international agency specialising in negotiation. Dr Al Muftah noted that the 2024 edition of the award holds particular significance for Qatar, as it was renamed the Doha Best Negotiator of the Year Award in recognition of its announcement during the Doha World Negotiation Day, hosted by UNITAR and the ADN Group in collaboration with the Doha Forum. She emphasised that this ceremony reflects Qatar's steadfast commitment to promoting a culture of negotiation, mediation, and peaceful resolution—core tenets of its foreign policy. The award, she said, aims to honour individuals who make effective contributions toward resolving international conflicts and fostering humane, just, and sustainable solutions. Highlighting Qatar's two-decade record as a neutral, trusted mediator, Dr Al Muftah outlined the country's achievements in facilitating ceasefires, restoring diplomatic ties, securing hostage releases, negotiating prisoner exchanges, enabling national dialogue, resolving border disputes, achieving humanitarian outcomes, and brokering peace agreements in numerous global conflicts. Commending Grynspan's distinguished career, Dr Al Muftah underscored her pivotal role in the Istanbul agreements—particularly the Black Sea Initiative, which enabled the export of millions of tonnes of grain and food supplies from Ukraine, thereby bolstering global food security and mitigating famine risks in low-income nations. Dr Al Muftah praised Grynspan's unwavering commitment to ethical diplomacy, human rights, and environmental responsibility, stating that these values form the foundation of effective international negotiation. She also paid tribute to negotiators around the world who work under challenging conditions to secure peace and protect lives, affirming Qatar's ongoing dedication to mediation and peaceful solutions as a responsible international partner. In her response, Rebeca Grynspan expressed deep gratitude to the State of Qatar for the honour, reaffirming her commitment to a fair, inclusive diplomacy that serves humanity and promotes global stability.
