Joint Statement on the Seventh United States-Qatar Strategic Dialogue: An Enduring Strategic Partnership

Yes. The full text of the joint statement is available on the State of Qatar’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs website and appears to mirror the U.S. State Department text. It may also be accessible via the main State Department site once the technical issue is resolved.

Key alternative links:

• Qatar Ministry of Foreign Affairs: “Joint Statement on the Seventh Qatar-United States Strategic Dialogue: An Enduring Strategic Partnership”
• State Department country page for Qatar, which links to the same joint statement even if the release URL itself errors for some users.

“Exception: forbidden” corresponds to an HTTP 403 Forbidden error. This means the web server understood your request but is refusing to give you the page. Common causes include:

• Access control rules (for example, blocking certain IP ranges, bots, or countries)
• Permission or configuration errors on the server
• Security filters that wrongly classify a request as suspicious

On a government site, it usually reflects a technical or configuration issue rather than anything specific to the content.

Joint statements for the U.S.–Qatar Strategic Dialogue are typically issued jointly by:

• The U.S. Department of State (Office of the Spokesperson / Office of Press Operations), and
• The State of Qatar’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

They are usually introduced with language such as “The text of the following statement was released by the Governments of the United States of America and the State of Qatar.”

The Seventh United States–Qatar Strategic Dialogue is a high‑level annual meeting, held in Washington, D.C. on December 17, 2025, between Qatar’s Prime Minister/Foreign Minister and the U.S. Secretary of State, with senior officials from both sides participating.

According to the joint statement, this round focused on:

• Strengthening cooperation on peace, security, and investment
• Law enforcement and security cooperation
• Deepening cultural ties
• Regional and global issues including Gaza, Iran, Syria, Lebanon, Afghanistan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Rwanda, and Haiti.

Earlier rounds of the Dialogue show a similar pattern, covering defense and security, economic cooperation, energy, technology, and coordination on regional crises.

• Qatar Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA): hosts the full text of the “Joint Statement on the Seventh Qatar–United States Strategic Dialogue: An Enduring Strategic Partnership.”

Other official channels that often republish or link to such joint statements (though specific reposting for the seventh Dialogue should be checked case‑by‑case) include:

• The Embassy of the State of Qatar in Washington, D.C. (“Updates & Releases” section)
• The U.S. Embassy in Qatar (“News & Events” / “Press Releases” sections).
