A high-level Qatari delegation will visit Turkey this month in in a bid to finalise a deal between the two countries for long-term import of liquefied natural gas (LNG) from the Gulf state to the Asiatic-European country, a top diplomat said.

Turkish Ambassador to Qatar H Emre Yunt told Gulf Times yesterday his country would like to see the arrangement signed as soon as some issues on the pricing of the commodity are settled.
In an exclusive interview, the envoy said the volume of Qatari LNG import to Turkey can at least be doubled from its current level if the long-term agreement is put in place.

“We look forward to it. It is important for our economy and will our cement brotherly ties with Qatar,” added Yunt whose country has seen a remarkable surge in energy demands to meet the growing needs of industrial sector.

He could not, however, predict whether the deal can be sealed during the visit, saying it will be too early to comment on that.
