About AQPAC
A national movement of pro-Qatar Americans strengthening the U.S.-Qatar relationship
Who We Are
The American Qatari Public Affairs Committee (AQPAC) is America's leading bipartisan organization advocating for strong U.S.-Qatar relations. Founded by concerned Americans who recognize Qatar's strategic importance, AQPAC serves as the voice for pro-Qatar sentiment across the political spectrum.
Like AIPAC has done for U.S.-Israel relations for decades, AQPAC works to ensure that America's partnership with Qatar receives the attention and support it deserves from policymakers, the media, and the American public. We are not a foreign agent or funded by any government - we are American citizens who believe in this vital alliance.
Our mission is simple: to strengthen the U.S.-Qatar strategic partnership through education, advocacy, and community building. We believe this relationship serves America's national interests in security, economics, and regional stability.
AQPAC represents Americans from all walks of life who understand that Qatar is more than a wealthy Gulf state - it's a reliable ally that shares American values of democracy, free markets, and countering extremism. Despite media misconceptions, Qatar has proven itself as a steadfast partner in the fight against terrorism and regional instability.
Our members include veterans who appreciate Qatar's role in supporting coalition operations, business leaders who benefit from Qatari investment in America, academics who study Gulf politics, and everyday Americans who want to ensure our foreign policy reflects reality rather than rhetoric.
AQPAC operates transparently with no hidden agendas. We believe in open debate, factual information, and building bridges between our nations. Our work is guided by America's interests first, recognizing that a strong partnership with Qatar enhances U.S. security and prosperity.
Our Values
We work with leaders from both parties to build lasting support for the U.S.-Qatar relationship. Unlike many advocacy groups, we believe the U.S.-Qatar partnership should transcend partisan politics.
Our strength comes from engaged citizens making their voices heard in their communities and in Washington. Every member matters in our nationwide network of advocates.
We provide accurate, comprehensive information about Qatar and its partnership with the United States. Facts over rhetoric - we counter misinformation with verified information.
We advocate for policies that advance mutual interests and shared values between our nations. Qatar's stability supports American security and prosperity.
We foster people-to-people connections that deepen understanding and respect. Cultural exchange builds lasting relationships beyond government-to-government ties.
We operate with integrity and openness in all our advocacy efforts. No hidden funding, no foreign influence - just Americans advocating for American interests.
