Following a trip to Qatar on Sunday, German Economy Minister Robert Habeck will visit the UAE – one of the world’s biggest oil exporters – as Europe’s biggest economy seeks to reduce its dependence on Russian energy.

Qatar has agreed to work on supplying Germany with liquefied natural gas, while the German government has fast-tracked the construction of two LNG import terminals, a QatarEnergy statement said.

Both countries agreed “that their respective commercial entities would re-engage and progress discussions on long-term LNG supplies from Qatar to Germany,” according to the statement.

Robert Habeck will also see visit the UAE, as part of efforts by major economies to secure energy after the Russia-Ukraine conflict threw global supplies into disarray, Bloomberg reported.
