Pakistan and Qatar have reaffirmed their common desire to further strengthen the close brotherly relations in the trade and investment.

This came during a telephonic conversation between Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif and Amir of the State of Qatar Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani today.

It was agreed that a delegation from Qatar shall visit Pakistan immediately after Eid to carry forward discussions on investment.

Fondly recalling his visit to Doha last October, the Prime Minister conveyed his deep appreciation to the Amir for hosting the Manzar cultural exhibition, which was inaugurated in his presence. The Prime Minister proposed the idea of having a similar exhibition hosted in Lahore, which the Amir very graciously accepted. 

The regional situation was also discussed and the Prime Minister expressed his deep appreciation for Qatar’s diplomatic role in peace efforts, particularly in Gaza.

The Prime Minister conveyed his warm greetings and best wishes to the Amir and the brotherly people of Qatar on Eid ul Fitr. The  Amir of Qatar warmly reciprocated the Prime Minister’s Eid greetings and conveyed his best wishes for the people of Pakistan.
