Emir of Qatar concludes Pakistan trip after signing three MoUs

ISLAMABAD: Qatar’s emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hammad Al Thani concluded his two-day visit to Islamabad on Sunday after signing three bilateral MOUs on trade and investment, tourism and business, and the exchange of financial intelligence.
Following a ceremony at the President House on Sunday where the Qatari head of state was conferred Pakistan’s highest civilian honor- the Nishan-e-Pakistan- by President Arif Alvi, the emir was seen off at Islamabad’s Nur Khan air base by Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Overseas Pakistanis, Zulfikar Bukhari.
During his visit, the emir attended one-on-one discussions with Prime Minister Imran Khan and President Arif Alvi, as well as delegation level meetings between representatives from both countries to discuss different areas of bilateral relations, according to a statement from the Prime Minister’s Office.
“The two sides also exchanged views on the regional situation and efforts to facilitate the Afghan peace process,” Pakistan’s Foreign Office said in a statement.
Last week, the Prime Minister’s official Instagram account had announced in a post that Qatar would be making investments in Pakistan worth $22 billion.
