Qatari Deputy FM urges IE to attend Doha meeting

KABUL (Ariana News): Qatar’s deputy foreign minister Mohammed bin Abdulaziz Al-Khulaifi met with Afghanistan’s deputy prime minister for economic affairs Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar on Thursday and urged the IEA to attend the upcoming Doha meeting.

During this meeting, which took place in Kabul, political, economic and commercial relations were discussed between the two sides. Baradar thanked Qatar for its cooperation with Afghanistan in various fields and said that these relations should be expanded and strengthened.

He also said currently there are numerous investment opportunities in Afghanistan and Qatari investors are welcome to invest. According to Baradar, the Islamic Emirate has provided necessary facilities to foreign investors and fully supports them.

Al-Khulaifi in turn said Qatar will encourage investors to invest in Afghanistan and for this purpose, Qatari investors will visit Kabul in the near future.

Al-Khalifi added that they are working closely with Qatar Airlines to start flights to Afghanistan and to strengthen commercial relations between the two countries.

Khalifi meanwhile asked the Islamic Emirate to attend the upcoming meeting of special envoys for Afghanistan in Doha. He said Qatar would like the IEA to attend the meeting so that definite conclusions can be reached.

He added that without the presence of the IEA, such meetings are fruitless. He said he had clarified his position to the United Nations in this regard.

Baradar meanwhile said that the Islamic Emirate wants broad political-economic relations with all countries.

He emphasized that without IEA representation at meetings, no results can be reached and therefore, it is necessary to respect the position of the Islamic Emirate in such gatherings.

This comes after Baradar and foreign minister Amir Khan Muttaqi met with the Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani and Qatar’s Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Sherpur Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al-Thani in Tehran in Iran.
