PM hails Doha's 'vital role' in Taliban release of UK couple

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, on Friday, hailed the "vital role" played by Qatar in winning the release of a British couple held by Taliban authorities in Afghanistan.

He welcomed the release of Peter Reynolds, 80, and his wife, Barbie, 76, who had been arrested in February, saying: "This long-awaited news will come as a huge relief to them and their family."

"I want to pay tribute to the vital role played by Qatar," including the emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani, "in securing their freedom," Starmer added in a statement.
