President returns from Qatar

President Mahinda Rajapaksa who paid an official visit to Qatar to attend the Doha Economic Summit Forum as a special guest on the invitation of Qatar Emir Sheik Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani returned to the country yesterday morning.

During his stay in Qatar, President Rajapaksa met Qatar Emir

Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani and Prime Minister Hamad bin Jassim bin Jabar and held bilateral discussions with them.

The Qatar Emir and the Prime Minister during discussions said Qatar was anxious to see Sri Lanka proceeding towards accelerated development and Qatar was prepared to assist Sri Lanka in this endeavour unconditionally.

The Emir said he even cancelled a scheduled foreign visit to stay behind and meet President Rajapaksa as a mark of honour to him. The Emir said Sri Lanka which suffered a setback due to terrorism had been able to attain rapid growth and development due to its efficient leadership.

The President's delegation included Minister Prof G L Peiris, A H M Fowzie, Rishath Bathiutheen and Rauf Hakeem, Deputy Ministers Faizer Musthapha, Parliamentarian A H M Azwer and Sajin Vaas Gunawardena and Secretary to the President Lalith Weeratunga.
