A business delegation from London headed by The Lord Mayor of the City of London Ian Luder is arriving here tomorrow for a three-day visit as part of a wider visit to the Gulf. The 35-strong delegation will hold high-level meetings with Ministers as well as representatives of the Qatar Financial Centre Authority, the Qatar Investment Authority and the Qatar British Business Forum. “Our relationship with Qatar continues to strengthen and on this visit I hope to build further on that relationship. The visit comes at a critical time: in recent months global financial markets have been rocked by the credit crisis which has spread around the world. Now, as we begin to re-build market confidence and financial stability, the value of trusted and close relationships, such as that between the United Kingdom and Qatar are more important than ever,” said Lord Mayor Ian Luder. http://thepeninsulaqatar.com/Display_news.asp?section=Local_News&subsection=Qatar+News&month=February2009&file=Local_News2009021765810.xml
