Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Mary Bischoping met on Wednesday with Mohammad bin Abdulaziz Al Khalifi, Qatar’s Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, along with representatives from several other countries, to discuss shared concerns related to Afghanistan, including counterterrorism, narcotics trafficking, irregular migration and the release of American detainees, said Karen Decker, the charge d’affaires of the US Embassy for Afghanistan, in a post on X.
Decker described the talks as “results-oriented” and praised Qatar as “a valued, collaborative friend” in advancing mutual priorities.
She stated the discussions focused on “getting all American detainees home safely, curbing illegal migration, and counter narcotics.”
“We are proud to call Qatar a valued, collaborative friend in our common pursuit of security, prosperity, and regional stability,” Decker added.
