The ambassador of Qatar to Bangladesh Seraya Ali Al-Qahtani on Tuesday said that Qatar had extended its full support to the reform agenda of Bangladesh’s interim government.

‘Qatar is eager to provide all sorts of support to Bangladesh,’ Al-Qahtani conveyed the message from his government while calling on chief adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus at the state guest house Jamuna in Dhaka. 


‘This is wonderful,’ Professor Yunus said and thanked the Qatar Emir for the support and for being a close friend of Bangladesh.

Stressing the need for a deepening trade and investment relationship with Qatar, the CA invited Qatari entrepreneurs to invest in Bangladesh and relocate their factories to the country’s many economic zones.

‘Bangladesh is now ready for business. We want Qatari businessmen to explore opportunities in Bangladesh,’ he said, adding that Dhaka would hold an investment summit in early April.

Appreciated the invitation, the Qatari envoy expressed the hope that more entrepreneurs from his country would visit Bangladesh very soon.

Prof Yunus highlighted the reform agenda of his government and the work of the consensus commission to hold dialogue with the political parties.

He said that he was expected to visit Qatar next month to attend an international conference in the country.
