In a bid to bolster Croatia’s political and economic footprint on the global stage, Foreign Minister Gordan Grlić Radman and Minister of Economy Ante Šušnjar embarked on a pivotal official visit to Qatar this week.

The trip, which included meetings with Qatar’s Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani, underscores the growing significance of this bilateral relationship.

At the heart of the discussions was energy security, with Croatia seeking to position itself as a reliable partner in diversifying energy supply to the region.
