The US Senate passed by oral vote a draft resolution expressing appreciation for the efforts of the State of Qatar in assisting the United States in the evacuations from Afghanistan.
The draft resolution thanks Qatar and expresses its appreciation for hosting the thousands of temporary evacuees before they travel to their final destination.
Democratic and Republican senators introduced the bill late last year.
And last March, US President Joe Biden issued a decision designating Qatar as a "major ally" outside the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).
Biden said that Qatar is a good friend and trusted partner, noting that the decision is a "long-awaited step."
And on August 15, the Taliban movement took control of Afghanistan almost completely, paralleling a final stage of a US military withdrawal that was completed at the end of the same month.
The countries of the world are still reluctant to recognize the Taliban’s rule, linking this to the movement’s behavior, especially respect for human rights, and not allowing “terrorists” to operate in the country.
