Qatar has evinced keen interest for investment in different sectors of Pakistan, Radio Pakistan reported on Monday.
The interest was expressed by a visiting Qatari delegation during its meeting with Advisor on Commerce Abdul Razak Dawood.
Talking to media about the meeting, Dawood said that talks with the Qatari delegation focused on investment opportunities in power, infrastructure, tourism and agriculture sectors.
“Qatar sees Pakistan as an important destination for its food security and we have expressed readiness for it,” he stated, adding that an action plan would be formulated after the identification of areas for investment by the Middle Eastern country.
The advisor was confident that Qatar would start pouring investment in Pakistan within the next few months.
Responding to a question, Dawood said the Ministry of Petroleum would discuss with Qatar the import of additional LNG on a long-term basis.
Earlier in March, Qatar’s Commerce and Industry Minister Ali Bin Ahmed Al-Kuwari welcomed the Pakistani investors to use its market for businesses both inside and outside Qatar.
During the Pakistan – Qatar Trade and Investment Conference, Kuwari asserted that Qatar was open to providing a platform to the Pakistani investors.
