DOHA: Qatar is still an attractive investment destination and Malaysian companies must capitalise on the intimate bilateral relations to boost their businesses in one of the world’s richest countries. Malaysian ambassador to Qatar Datuk Ahmad Jazri Mohd Johar said the Qatari Government has high confidence in Malaysian companies based on their performance record in helping the country develop, especially quality infrastructural development since 2014. On the success of Malaysian firms in Qatar, he said, many of them were in construction and engineering services and hotel management. Ahmad Jazri said the four-day visit of Deputy Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, to Qatar starting on Saturday would help boost bilateral relations and would give Malaysian firms more business opportunities. Ahmad Jazri said there were 5,000 Malaysians in Qatar with most of them working with Qatar Airways, education and petroleum industry.
