Qatar keen to build power plants in Pakistan

31/03/2016 07:28 AST

The Qatar government has expressed its interest in building two power plants in Pakistan for which the initial feasibility study is in progress, said Ambassador of Qatar to Pakistan Saqr bin Mubarak Al Mansouri while talking to members of the Islamabad Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ICCI).

“Qatari and Chinese companies are already working on four coal-based power plants in Pakistan. The construction of these plants would go a long way in reducing Pakistan’s energy problems,” the ambassador was quoted as saying. Referring to the recent deal between Pakistan and Qatar, the ambassador said the Middle Eastern country was giving priority to Pakistan in promoting trade and economic relations.

“This is a positive development in bringing the two countries even closer.” “The next meeting of the Qatar-Pakistan Joint Ministerial Committee will be held in Pakistan this year, which would be a good forum to discuss new areas of mutual cooperation,” he said.

“Qatar also plans to import more manpower from Pakistan for various on-going projects.”
