Jassim bin Saif Al Sulaiti, Minister of Communications has welcomed the PM and delegation at the airport.
According to Fana Broadcasting Cooperation, the Prime Minister will meet with the Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani of Qatar to discuss bilateral relations and the prospects for their development in addition to a number of issues of common concern.
The trip of Prime Minister Abiy is the first of its kind since he assumed the office early last year following months of violent demonstrations by one of Ethiopia’s largest community – Oromo.

In 2017 Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani had visited Ethiopia to discuss with Ethiopian leader on how Doha and Addis Ababa develop and expand relations in all areas of mutual interest.
The Ethiopian Investment Forum, organized by the Ethiopian Embassy in Doha, opened in January this year to review investment opportunities in Ethiopia and discuss economic and trade cooperation between the private sectors in both countries.
During the forum, which included a number of Ethiopian and Qatari entrepreneurs, the Ethiopian side presented investment opportunities to Qatari businesspeople in the sectors of agriculture, manufacturing, services, medicines, building materials and others.
