Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Wednesday vowed that the brotherly countries, Pakistan and Qatar, would continue to broaden and deepen their bilateral relationship, particularly in trade and investment sectors.
According to a statement, Ambassador of the State of Qatar Sheikh Saoud bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani paid a farewell call on the prime minister at the PM Office.
The prime minister, expressing satisfaction at the long-standing brotherly relations between the two countries, appreciated Ambassador Al-Thani’s sterling contribution in further strengthening the fraternal ties.
The prime minister particularly mentioned the recent visit of a delegation of the Qatar Investment Authority as a manifestation of Qatar’s interest in investing in various sectors of Pakistan’s economy.
He 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.
The prime minister wished ambassador Al-Thani all success in his future assignments.
Thani thanked the government and people for their hospitality and warmth that made his stay in Pakistan truly memorable.
Thani arrived in Pakistan in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 and would be leaving Pakistan this month upon completion of his diplomatic assignment.
