Doha: Lord Mayor of the City of London HE Alastair King said that the United Kingdom views Qatar as a vital investment partner and is grateful for the confidence shown by Qatar's investments in many of its institutions and businesses.

He added that these investments are not limited to London alone, but extend to many parts of the United Kingdom, as investment opportunities also exist in the southeast of England.

This came during his meeting with HE Qatari Businessmen Association (QBA) Chairman Sheikh Faisal bin Qassim Al-Thani, and QBA members.

His Excellency praised HH the Amir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani's state visit to the UK in December 2024, which was a celebration of relations between Qatar and Britain in the areas of trade, finance, cultural activities, and other areas.

He also highlighted efforts to encourage UK businesses to explore and expand into new markets like Qatar, stressing Britain's expertise in sustainable finance and project financing. He expressed interest in engaging Qatari investors in some of the UK's cutting-edge technological sectors.
