He noted that the visit will witness the announcement of agreements that will enhance and expand the scope of Qatar National Vision 2030.
His Excellency added that the visit is expected to witness agreements on sports cooperation, as the United States will host the 2026 World Cup, Los Angeles will host the 2028 Olympic Games, and Doha will host the FIBA Basketball World Cup in 2027.

He said that the State of Qatar is at the forefront of the United States' partners in resolving and settling conflicts regionally and globally, not only because of its unique mediation capacity, but also because of its expertise and commitment to these issues. He stressed that no problem in the world can be resolved more effectively unless the State of Qatar is involved in the solution.

He also noted the United States' efforts to assist Qatar in this regard.
HE Ambassador of the United States of America to the State of Qatar Timmy Davis underscored that the global situation is evolving rapidly, indicating that a dynamic and proactive country like Qatar will contribute to finding solutions to problems and challenges that major countries have been unable to achieve.
