Qatar's permanent representative to the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, Ambassador Dr. Mutlaq bin Majed Al Qahtani, addressed the organisation's Executive Council in The Hague on 7 October 2026 concerning remnants of Syria's chemical weapons programme.
According to Qatar's Foreign Ministry, Al Qahtani welcomed progress by Syria and the OPCW Technical Secretariat and urged a practical roadmap with defined stages, priorities and a timetable toward full, verifiable elimination. He also called for continued support to help Syria meet Chemical Weapons Convention obligations. The statement describes progress and proposed next steps, not completion of the process.
