Iran and Qatar Establish Joint Working Group Following High-Level Bilateral Talks

Iran and Qatar have agreed to establish a joint bilateral working group to oversee the execution of bilateral agreements and bolster intergovernmental cooperation. The announcement came during an official diplomatic mission to Doha by Iranian Interior Minister Eskandar Momeni, who held high-level discussions with Qatar's leadership focusing on mutual interests, regional developments, and expanded bilateral relations.

Speaking after his audience with the Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, Momeni described the dialogue as constructive and brotherly. "During this meeting, we raised key messages and issues highlighted by Iran's President, which were received with goodwill by the Emir," Momeni said. He added that the Qatari leader offered several proposals concerning ongoing regional developments, which will be formally delivered to Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian upon the minister's return to Tehran.

The diplomatic visit also included extensive bilateral consultations between Momeni and his Qatari counterpart. The primary institutional outcome of the talks was the formation of a joint ministerial committee, bringing together representatives from both interior ministries to monitor and implement newly agreed policies across security and operational domains.

Momeni noted that the geopolitical and diplomatic climate is optimal for deepening bilateral ties across trade, economic sectors, and regional security frameworks. Tehran and Doha continue to maintain close diplomatic relations, often collaborating on regional conflict mitigation, maritime security, and economic partnerships across the Persian Gulf.
