The Arrangements were signed by Brigadier-General Abdulaziz Saleh al Sulaiti, head of the International Military Cooperation Authority , Qatar, and Donald Gonneville, director of NATO Office of Security and assistant deputy secretary-general for Security Affairs on behalf of NATO.
The signing ceremony was witnessed by Ambassador of Qatar to Belgium HE Abdulrahman Mohammed al Khulaifi, Qatari Defence Attaché Brigadier-General Abdul Hadi bin Mubarak Tarihib al Hajri and representatives of the armed forces and state ministries.
The Administrative Arrangements for the Protection of Classified Information is the last step to activate and implement the Agreement on Information Security and the Exchange of Classified Information that was signed in Brussels in 2018, which provides a framework for the protection of information exchanged between NATO and its partners as defined by the 29 nations of the NATO Council.
Most NATO partner nations have signed bilateral security agreements and this agreement enables the activation of all the areas of cooperation defined in the Individual Partnership and Cooperation Programme that was signed between Qatar and NATO in 2017, which is the main framework for laying the foundations of cooperation for countries seeking partnership with the Alliance through global initiatives such as the Istanbul Cooperation Initiative that was signed by Qatar in 2004.
