Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis made his first official visit to Qatar, which indicates the special interest of both sides in further strengthening bilateral relations, especially in today’s critical juncture of regional instability and energy crisis.
During the meeting of Kyriakos Mitsotakis with the Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani, it was established the common will to deepen cooperation in the field of energy, as well as in the fields of tourism, infrastructure, agriculture, culture, sports and sciences.
The two leaders discussed current regional developments. The Prime Minister underlined the need for a climate of stability to prevail in the wider region and to avoid actions undermining peace amid the turmoil caused by the war in Ukraine. He also recognized Qatar’s role in the Gulf region, which is critical for Greek interests, after the adoption of the Al-Ula Declaration and referred to the important role of Doha and the Emir personally in crisis management, such as in Chad, Palestine and Afghanistan.
During the meeting, particular emphasis was placed on the energy sector and the possibilities of strengthening and systematizing cooperation in the energy sector, given Qatar’s leading position in natural gas production and the government’s strategy for the diversification of energy sources and its energy security country.
Greece, Kyriakos Mitsotakis emphasized, due to its strategic position in the region and its infrastructure, can be a bridge between Qatar and Europe, a gateway for entering energy for the European market, both through the Revythoussa station and through Alexandroupoli.
The Prime Minister emphasized that Greece is a reliable partner, a pillar of stability in the region. He informed the Emir of Qatar about the exit of Greece on August 20 from the Enhanced Supervision regime, which opens a new chapter, as well as about the investment opportunities offered by Greece.
The Prime Minister congratulated the Emir of Qatar on Qatar taking over the organization of the FIFA World Cup (starting on 20/11) and wished him good success. The Prime Minister accepted the Emir’s invitation to visit Qatar again during the World Cup.
