Doha, MINA – The emir of Qatar called for calm between Pakistan and India during a telephone call with Pakistani prime minister on Saturday. Anadolu reported.

The conflicts must be resolved through dialogue, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani said during the conversation with Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan.
