Qatar in study to build power plants in Pakistan
DOHA, March 31, 2016
Qatar is conducting the initial feasibility study to build two power plants in Pakistan, a report said.
“Qatari and Chinese companies are already working on four coal-based power plants in Pakistan. The construction of these plants would go a long way in reducing Pakistan’s energy problems,” Saqr bin Mubarak Al Mansouri, Ambassador of Qatar to Pakistan, was quoted as saying in The Peninsula report.
“The next meeting of the Qatar-Pakistan Joint Ministerial Committee will be held in Pakistan this year, which would be a good forum to discuss new areas of mutual cooperation,” he said.
“Qatar also plans to import more manpower from Pakistan for various ongoing projects,” he added.
