According to the report, the defence partnership between the two nations will strengthen the ongoing cooperation involving Rafale fighter jets.
Last week, French Minister of Armed Forces, Sebastien Lecornu, engaged in discussions with Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani in Qatar.
In 2015, the two nations initially finalised a $7 billion (6.34 billion Euros) deal for 24 Rafale jets, and in 2017, Qatar placed an additional order for 12 more aircraft.
