"We are willing to sit and talk," Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani, the foreign minister, said Tuesday in an interview with CNN's Becky Anderson.
He said the "progressive and modern" country believes in diplomacy and promoting peace in the Middle East.
"We are not a superpower here, we are not believing in solving things with confrontation," he said.
Al-Thani insisted his country was combating terror financing and "protecting the world from potential terrorists."
