HE the former Deputy Premier Abdullah bin Hamad al-Attiyah on Tuesday received three dignitaries who were in Doha to attend the distribution of Al-Attiyah International Energy Awards instituted by the Abdullah Bin Hamad Al-Attiyah International Foundation for Energy & Sustainable Development. “The purpose of the meetings was to set in motion further cooperation between each of the organisations and the Foundation,” a statement said.
