Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif Thursday met with the Emir of Qatar, His Highness Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, in Doha for high-level talks aimed at deepening Pakistan-Qatar relations.

The leaders held a one-on-one discussion, followed by a meeting with their delegations, where they explored new avenues for cooperation in trade, investment, energy, and culture.
