Qatar: Emir Sheikh Tamim tours Latin America

Emir Sheikh Tamim Bin Hamad Al-Thani started his tour of Cuba, Mexico and Venezuela in Havana on 22 November. The following day, he held talks with Cuban President Raúl Castro. Qatar and Cuba have signed a memorandum of understanding that allows the emirate to invest some $2bn over five years in Cuba; it is possible Qatar National Bank will establish an office in Havana. Last month, the UAE opened a diplomatic mission in Cuba.
