A Downing Street spokesperson said:
The Prime Minister welcomed His Excellency Sheikh Abdullah Bin Nasser Al Thani, Prime Minister of Qatar, to Downing Street this afternoon for a bilateral meeting.
Prime Minister May welcomed the close relationship between the 2 countries. And she reiterated the commitment she made at the Gulf Co-operation Council summit in December to step up the UK’s relationship with the Gulf.
They discussed our growing trade and investment partnership, and agreed that the Qatar-UK Business and Investment Forum taking place in London and Birmingham this week will provide opportunities to deepen these ties.
They also agreed on the importance of our security co-operation, and committed to strengthening our collaboration on cyber security and defence.
Finally, they discussed regional issues, and the importance of securing lasting political settlements in Syria and Yemen, while ensuring humanitarian assistance reaches those in need.
They ended by looking forward to the Gulf Co-operation Council Summit to be hosted by the UK later this year.
