Germany agrees on gas deal with Qatar to cut reliance on Russia | DW News

Germany and Qatar have agreed upon a long-term energy partnership to help cut reliance on Russian gas over the invasion of Ukraine, German Economic Minister Robert Habeck said Sunday. Habeck, who is on a two-nation visit to the Arabian Gulf, met with Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani in Doha. "The day has developed a strong dynamic," Habeck said, adding that the emir had pledged more support than Germany had expected. "Although we might still need Russian gas this year, in the future it won't be so anymore. And this is only the start," Habeck said. Qatar is one of the three largest exporters of liquified natural gas (LNG).
