(MENAFN) Qatari Prime Minister Hamad Bin Jasim Bin Jabr Al Thani announced that the top LNG exporter will deposit USD200 million in the Bulgarian central bank as a proof of solid intentions to invest in the Balkan nation, Arabian Business reported.
The move comes after Bulgarian Prime Minister Boiko Borissov said that Qatar plans to invest in farms, building resort villages and infrastructure projects.
Other partnership agreements were also firmed to cooperate in the farming, cattle-breeding, food trade, spa and tourism, real estate, mining, health and culture sectors.
