Scholz: Qatar plays a central role in Germany's new energy strategy
The German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said Qatar would play a central role in Germany's new energy strategy.
In Berlin, Scholz met with the Emir of Qatar Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, after the meeting stressed that the two countries will improve their economic ties and energy cooperation.
"Germany will further develop its energy infrastructure so that we can import enough liquefied natural gas by ship. "Qatar plays a central role in our strategy," said Scholz, who has been announcing Berlin's plans to end its reliance on Russian energy in response to the war in Ukraine.
The Emir of Qatar Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani said that his country has recently made large investments in the liquefied natural gas (LNG) sector and will gladly contribute to the stability of energy markets.
He stressed that Qatar will increase LNG production in the coming years and will be in a position to increase its supply.
"We will do our best for energy security in Europe, even in this period," said Sheikh Al Thani.
