The two meetings discussed strategic ties between Qatar and the US, in addition to key regional and international issues.
Sheikh Mohammed also met separately with Senior Advisor to the President of the United States Jared Kushner, Personal Representative for International Negotiations Jason Greenblatt, Coordinator for Counterterrorism at the Department of State Nathan Sales, Special Presidential Envoy for Hostage Affairs, and a number of Congress members.
The meetings discussed the strategic bilateral relations and a number of regional and international issues, particularly peace in Afghanistan, Palestine, and joint efforts to combat terrorism and its financing.
The FM said he looks forward to hosting US officials in Qatar throughout this year, and to being back to the US as well. He said they were communicating to find solutions to the region’s most urgent issues.
Sheikh Mohammed stressed that Qatar highly appreciated its ties with the US, and noted that the meetings were part of an ongoing dialogue in all fields of common interest and that they provided an opportunity to exchange views on important international issues, including efforts to counter violent extremism.
The visit of Sheikh Mohammed to Washington follows the Second Qatar-US Strategic Dialogue that was held in Doha and saw the signing of three memoranda of understanding and a statement of intent to enhance cooperation at the political, economic and social levels.
The FM stressed that during his participation in the ministerial meeting of the Global Coalition To Defeat ISIS that took place in Washington on Wednesday, Qatar reaffirmed its commitment to contribute to the efforts made to defeat ISIS in Iraq and Syria. He also announced Doha’s intention to host a high-level regional meeting this year to address the horrible crimes committed by ISIS.
It is worth mentioning that the strategic ties between Qatar and the US began 45 years ago. The two countries share a joint goal of building a Middle East that is more peaceful and more prosperous.
