Cuba's newly appointed ambassador to Doha Eumelio Caballero and Qatari Foreign Minister Bin Saad Al Muraikhi analyzed the pace of bilateral relations between their countries and considered prospects to further develop those links.
The two officials met in the capital Doha as the Cuban appointed ambassador handed over to the Qatari Foreign Minister a copy of the document that accredits him as top Cuban representative in that Persian Gulf nation, PL news agency reported.
During the meeting, the Qatari minister wished the new ambassador success in his diplomatic mission and offered him his support.
