A team from Qatar's various investment funds will visit Cyprus to explore the country's investment prospects in the infrastructure, energy and tourism sectors, President of the Republic Mr. Nicos Christodoulides after his meeting with the Emir of Qatar Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, noting also that a team of experts from Cyprus will travel to Qatar in relation to the issue of the Republic of Cyprus' proposal to establish a maritime corridor to provide humanitarian aid to Gaza.
In his remarks, the President of the Republic said: "Qatar was the first country among the Gulf countries that I visited both for our bilateral issues and on the occasion of the developments in our region and the decisive role played by Qatar.
Let me start with our bilateral relations and the agreement today with the Emir of the country on the need to further strengthen our relations especially in the economic sector.
I welcome the fact that in the context of our meeting, the Emir decided to send to Cyprus, in the coming weeks, a team from the country's various investment funds to explore the prospects for his country's investments in the infrastructure, energy and tourism sectors.
Beyond that, an important Memorandum of Understanding was signed today in the field of education, which paves the way for our country's universities to be included in the lists of universities that Qatar gives scholarships to its nationals to study abroad.
During the discussions, there was a lengthy discussion on developments in the region and in particular on the role that the Republic of Cyprus can play through its initiative to create a humanitarian maritime corridor. The Emir of Qatar was well aware of the proposal of the Republic of Cyprus. As he told me, he also discussed it with the French President, he fully supports it, and we agreed that in the coming days a technical team from Cyprus, our team of experts who are working on the details of our proposal, will be here, precisely in order to proceed with the implementation of everything described in the proposal of the Republic of Cyprus.
During our discussions we had the opportunity to exchange views on the Cyprus problem. We are all aware of the special relations between Qatar and Turkey and any assistance that can be given by the country towards the resumption of the talks, on the basis of the agreed framework, is something we will welcome."
