Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, Prime Minister of Qatar, held his first meeting after taking his oath of office with Péter Szijjártó, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade, in Doha on Tuesday.
Minister Szijjártó said on Facebook that he had set out from the conference center in Doha “to meet my good friend Foreign Minister Mohammed Al Thani, but by the time I arrived, I was met by Prime Minister Mohammed Al Thani, as his first guest, around five minutes after he took his oath.” From now on, Qatari-Hungarian cooperation will have a supporter at the highest level, Minister Szijjártó said. “We now have even better prospects for obtaining LNG gas from Qatar,” he said, adding that this would contribute to Hungary’s energy security in the foreseeable future. The minister also congratulated Qatar on its success in hosting the 2022 World Cup.
