DOHA: The Emir of Qatar on Wednesday assured Bangladesh of providing all sorts of facilities to Bangladesh regarding larger supply of LNG from his country, reports UNB.
“I promise you that I, being the Emir, will provide all sorts of facilities to you as you are a friendly country,” Emir Sheikh Tamim Bin Hamad Al Thani was quoted as telling Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina during a meeting at Emiri Diwan in Doha.
“This meeting was held in a very warm environment,” said Foreign Minister AK Abdul Momen at a press briefing here.
About energy, the Amir said the negotiation of signing a new contract over the larger supply of energy from Qatar to Bangladesh remains pending for a few months.
Momen said it (the promise) is a big achievement for Bangladesh, adding that this fresh contract might be signed anytime soon.
Now Bangladesh is importing some 40 containers of energy that means 1.8-2.5 MTA as per a 15-year contract signed in 2017. But now Bangladesh seeks the larger supply of LNG from Qatar.
