Doha: The State of Qatar welcomed the agreement on ceasefire and the full integration between the Syrian government and the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), considering it a significant step toward consolidating civil peace, enhancing security and stability, and building a state of institutions and law.

In this context, the State of Qatar also commended the effective efforts of the friendly United States of America that contributed to reaching the agreement.

In a statement on Sunday, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stressed that the stability and prosperity of Syria require the state to have a monopoly on weapons in a single army that represents all Syrian components to guarantee the preservation of the country's sovereignty, independence, and territorial integrity.

The ministry reiterated the State of Qatar's full support for Syria's sovereignty and unity and the aspirations of its fraternal people for freedom, development, and prosperity.
