Argentina Foreign Minister visits Qatar to drum up trade

Argentina’s Foreign Minister said on Wednesday his crisisridden country desperately needed international investment, as he began a twoday visit to Qatar.

Jorge Faurie said Buenos Aires was ‘reaching out’ to Doha at a time when it battles runaway inflation and economic austerity, and recently agreed a loan from the International Monetary Fund.

"Qatar is a country with great potential for foreign investments, and this is why we are in contact with them."
