The Emir of Qatar Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani will visit the German capital Berlin and meet with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz.
Discussions between the two sides are expected to revolve around an agreement on supplying Qatar liquefied natural gas to Germany.
The supply of LNG was crucial to Germany’s attempts to reduce its dependence on gas imports from Russia.
The website “Foreign Brave” said that negotiations to reach a formal agreement have recently witnessed difficulties due to its duration, price index and the relocation of Qatar’s gas route from Germany to other countries. .
Among these differences, Qatar demands that its pricing structure be tied to oil prices, which will result in Germany paying high insurance premiums. ”
The expansion of Qatar’s negotiations and terms is likely to be more agreeable, as Germany is willing to accept higher LNG prices to eliminate its reliance on Russian gas.
While Western countries are looking for non-Russian suppliers, Qatar is expected to benefit from rising global demand for its natural gas.
