ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: President Mamnoon Hussain will undertake a four-day official visit to Qatar from October 22-25 during which he will discuss bilateral relationship and other important issues with Qatari leadership.
The visit is being undertaken at the invitation of the Emir of the State of Qatar Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad bin Khalifa Al-Thani.
“During the visit, the president will hold bilateral meetings with the Emir of Qatar and other dignitaries,” said a statement issued by the Foreign Office on Friday.
“The two sides will review important aspects of bilateral relations. Regional issues and international developments will also be discussed.”
The main focus of President Mamnoon’s official talks and interaction with the Qatari leadership will be on further enhancement of bilateral relations in various fields, including energy cooperation, trade investment, defence and increase in employment opportunities for the Pakistani workforce in the Qatari market.
The president’s visit would further consolidate the already existing brotherly relations.
Both Pakistan and Qatar enjoy excellent bilateral relations in all fields, and they share similar view on regional and global issues and also closely cooperate and support each other at the international fora like the United Nations and Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC).
People to People contacts have remained an important feature of bilateral relations between the two countries. Qatar hosts more than 125,000 Pakistanis who have been contributing towards the development and prosperity of Qatar as well as Pakistan.
