The State of Qatar welcomes the ceasefire agreement and the full integration between the Syrian government and the Syrian Democratic Forces, considering it an important step toward strengthening civil peace, enhancing security and stability, and building a state based on institutions and the rule of law. In this context, Qatar commends the effective efforts of the friendly United States of America, which contributed to reaching this agreement.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs affirms that Syria’s stability and prosperity require the state’s exclusive control of weapons within a single national army representing all components of the Syrian people, in a manner that ensures the preservation of the country’s sovereignty, independence, and territorial integrity.

The Ministry reiterates the State of Qatar’s full support for Syria’s sovereignty and unity, and for the aspirations of its brotherly people for freedom, development, and prosperity.
