Under Tamim, Qatar Lowers Profile

ABU DHABI [MENL] -- Qatar's new emir has lowered his nation's profile in the
Middle East.
Western diplomats and analysts asserted that Emir Tamim Bin Khalifa has
ordered a new foreign policy in wake of his dismissal of Prime Minister
Hamad Bin Jassim in June 2013. They said the 33-year-old Tamim sought to
increase cooperation with Saudi Arabia and the United States while reduce
tensions with neighboring Iran.
