ISLAMABAD: Ambassador of Qatar Ali Mubarak Ali Essa Al-Khater called on Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif here.

Prime Minister lauded Qatar’s contribution to peace efforts in Gaza. He said it is disappointing that violence is continuing in Gaza even during holy month of Ramadhan.

Shehbaz Sharif fondly recalled his official visits to Qatar in August 2022 and March 2023. He extended an invitation to Amir of Qatar to undertake an official visit to Pakistan and said people of Pakistan look forward to welcoming him in near future.      Ambassador thanked Prime Minister and said he would do his best to foster stronger ties between two countries.

Shehbaz Sharif thanked Amir of Qatar Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, Deputy Amir Sheikh Abdullah bin Hamad Al Thani and Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani for their warm messages of felicitations on his re-election as Prime Minister.

He said Pakistan is proud of its close, fraternal relationship with Qatar, with bilateral ties having potential to grow even stronger and meaningful, particularly in areas of economy, trade and investment. He highlighted that Special Investment Facilitation Council that was established during his previous tenure as Prime Minister, is now functioning as an efficient and productive mechanism. It is ensuring that foreign investors are able to benefit from investment opportunities in Pakistan’s key sectors like agriculture, Information Technology, mining and minerals as well as renewable energy.
