The Amir said, “With Prime Minister’s visit, a new chapter of relations of two countries has begun”. The Prime Minister said his Qatari counterpart was very upbeat about the absorption of Pakistani skilled manpower to contribute to build the infrastructure pertaining to the 2022 Olympic Games scheduled to be held in the country.
