Prime minister George Papandreou met on Saturday afternoon with the Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Hamad Bin Khalifa Al Thani, and the emirate's prime minister and foreign minister Hamad bin Jasim bin Jabir Al Thani.
After the meeting, both Papandreou and the Emir of Qatar underlined the relations of confidence between the two countries, as well as the prospects opening up for Qatari investments in Greece.
The meeting took place in light of the signing of an agreement that provides for the inflow of Qatari capital into the "Hellenic Gold" Halkidiki Mining Company.
Papandreou said that this decision by Qatar sends a message to the international community and reflects the confidence in the developmental opportunities arising in Greece form the reforms being advanced by the government.
