Whilst Qatar’s Emir was on a visit to Nicosia, the Cypriot President Demetris Christofias officially requested Qatar’s diplomatic assistance in finding a solution to the decades old Greece Cypriot-Turkish conflict. He hoped to use Qatar’s close relations with Turkey to broker a solution to the conflict.

Also on this visit the Qatari Emir announced a $150 million joint venture and investment in Cyprus in – as ever – a retail, leisure and hotel complex, also set to include offices and apartments.
