“Last year marked the 50th anniversary of our bilateral relations with Qatar, and those 50 years were characterized by mutual trust and fruitful cooperation at all times.
“Japan and Qatar have steadily developed their relationship over the past half century, especially in the energy sector. The stable supply of liquefied natural gas, as well as oil, from Qatar has supported Japan’s economic growth for many years.
