The State of Qatar and the Sultanate of Oman have close bilateral relations. These relations were consolidated in all areas after the independence of the State of Qatar. In 1973, the Emiri Decree No. (2) was issued to appoint the first ambassador for the State of Qatar to the Sultanate of Oman. The first ambassador of the Sultanate of Oman presented his credentials to the Emir of Qatar in 1974.

The bilateral relations between the State of Qatar and the Sultanate of Oman are characterized by stability and growth. These relations are deepened through mutual official visited by leaders of both countries which are followed by frequent official visits of senior officials from the Sultanate of Oman. These visits aim at promoting cooperation and strengthening the bilateral ties. Under the directions of HH Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, the ex-Emir, and HM Sultan Qaboos bin Said, the Qatari-Omani Joint Committee was established. The Committee has held fifteen meetings since its establishment. The most recent meeting was held in May 2010.
