  • The United States Welcomes Qatar’s Signing of Pax Silica Declaration

    The United States Welcomes Qatar’s Signing of Pax Silica Declaration

    Today, Qatar signed the Pax Silica Declaration, marking a historic milestone in the region’s economic integration.  Together, the United States of America and Qatar affirm a new geopolitical consensus that economic security is national security, and national security is economic security. Qatar’s leadership and commitment to investing in secure energy, advanced technology, and critical minerals supply chains make it an indispensable partner in this effort, placing Qatar in the vanguard of nations that will drive the next stage of global economic growth.

    Qatar’s accession to Pax Silica was signed by Under Secretary of State for Economic Affairs Jacob Helberg and Minister of State for Foreign Trade Affairs Ahmed bin Mohammed Al-Sayed. The United States and Qatar affirmed their commitment to pursue multilayered partnerships that strengthen supply chain security, address coercive dependencies and single points of failure, and advance the adoption of trusted technology ecosystems. They will explore opportunities to partner on flagship projects across global technology stacks, including connectivity and digital infrastructure, compute and semiconductors, advanced manufacturing, logistics, mineral refining and processing, and energy.

    Pax Silica is an economic security coalition built for the AI age.  This is the first time countries are organizing around compute, silicon, minerals, and energy as shared strategic assets.

    The United States welcomed Qatar as the eighth Pax Silica signatory. They joined signatories from Australia, Israel, Japan, Republic of Korea, Singapore, and the United Kingdom. Additional signatories are expected to follow.   

    Pax Silica is a positive-sum partnership of nations that want to remain competitive and prosperous.
