Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has expressed the hope that Pakistan and Qatar would continue to broaden and deepen the bilateral relationship, especially in the sectors of trade and investment.
He was talking to Qatari Ambassador Sheikh Saoud bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani, who paid a farewell call on him in Islamabad today.
The Prime Minister, expressing satisfaction at longstanding brotherly relations between the two countries, appreciated Ambassador Thani’s sterling contribution in further strengthening the fraternal ties. He particularly mentioned the recent visit of the delegation from Qatar Investment Authority as a manifestation of Qatar’s interest in investing in various sectors of Pakistan’s economy.
Shehbaz Sharif noted the enhanced frequency of high-level interactions between the two countries and cooperation in the fields of Food Security, Energy, IT, Mining and Defence.
He wished Ambassador Al-Thani all success in his future assignments.
Ambassador Al-Thani thanked the government and people of Pakistan for their hospitality and warmth that made his stay in Pakistan truly memorable.
It is pertinent to mention that the outgoing Qatari Ambassador arrived in Pakistan in the midst of the COVID 19 pandemic in 2020 and will be leaving Islamabad this month upon completion of his diplomatic assignment.
