–Qatar Prime Minister says, outlines importance of investing today to meet the needs of tomorrow

PRIME Minister of Qatar, Sheik Mohamed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani on Monday said that the explorations and investments of today will provide for future energy needs.
The Prime Minister made those remarks during his virtual address during the opening ceremony of the Guyana Energy Conference and Supply Chain Expo, which is being held at the Guyana Marriott Hotel in Kingston, Georgetown.

During this address, he said that the world will require a robust mix of all available energy resources to provide for the needs of growing populations, and the explorations and investments of today will provide for the future energy needs of tomorrow.
Further, the Qatari Prime Minister said that the success story of Qatar in the energy sector has confirmed what they have always believed.

“Every nation has the right to explore and secure its energy resources; energy security is the backbone of economic prosperity and development,” he said.
According to the Prime Minister, these two are interdependent, and cannot be separated in any context, even as he added that they believe that with proper planning, tools and partnerships, every nation could fulfil its energy security.

Al Thani indicated that Qatar Energy is working with partners in every region to responsibly develop their natural resources, enabling nations to expand their economies and reduce energy poverty in countries around the globe.
“This natural resource exploration not only helps provide energy security and equity for future generations, but also develops the host country’s infrastructure and growth for the future,” he added.

The Prime Minister went on to note that the opportunities created through these partnerships, which include jobs in science and technology, ensure homegrown technical expertise which could be leveraged across multiple sectors.
He said that they will continue to work with countries in this region, and deepen bilateral friendships shared between the nations to further enrich ties and fulfilling the aspirations of the people for a world that is secure and energy-sufficient.
