Qatar has planned to increase employment opportunities for Pakistanis to over 300,000 in the coming year from the current 150,000, Qatar consul General Mishal M Al-Ansari said on Monday.

While addressing members of the Korangi Association of Trade and Industry (KATI), he said that the companies with 100 per cent Pakistani ownership have increased significantly in Qatar.

The Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) agreement between Pakistan and Qatar is a great milestone. Both countries are already working on many joint ventures in areas like defence production, JF-17 aircraft project, defence training, agriculture, food and other industries.
