US-Qatar ties ‘at its best’

Doha, The Gulf Observer: The regional spokesman for the US State Department Samuel Warberg has stated that US-Qatar ties are currently going through their best form for more than fifty years.

In an interview with QNA on the margin of the 77th session of the UN General Assembly in New York, Warberg stressed that relations between the two countries are at the height of their prosperity, and their best during 50 years of distinguished diplomatic relations.

He said that cooperation relations between the two countries include various fields covering energy, defence, economy, education, food security, chemicals and healthcare. He pointed out that Qatari-American relations are strong and based on a set of firm foundations towards building and strengthening strategic cooperation and continuous consultation between the two leaderships and the two friendly countries.

Warberg also praised the vision of H H the Amir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, that has led Qatar towards progress and prosperity, consolidated its position in the global economy and strengthened its role at the international level.

He underlined that the participation of H H the Amir in the 77th session of the UNGA, comes at the height of its success on the international arena, reflecting the strength it enjoys, its global status, its influential role at the world level, which went beyond borders, and its success in optimism and world peace.

Referring to the congressional designation of Qatar as a major non-NATO ally of the United States, Warburg said this designation follows the talks held by US President Joe Biden with H H the Amir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani at his first summit meeting with a gulf leader at the White House.
