A Qatari investment delegation is scheduled to visit Pakistan immediately after Eid, it was learnt on Saturday.
The development came during a telephonic call between Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif with the Amir of the State of Qatar His Highness Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani today, read a statement issued by the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO).
During the meeting, the two leaders also reaffirmed their common desire to further strengthen the close brotherly relations in trade and investment.

Moreover, the regional situation was also discussed and the prime minister expressed his deep appreciation for Qatar’s diplomatic role in peace efforts, particularly in Gaza.
PM Shehbaz also renewed his invitation to the Amir to undertake an official visit to Pakistan at his earliest convenience.
