The investment, which will cover sectors such as fintech, life sciences, and cyber security, was signed during a visit by Qatar's ruler, Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani, to London.

"Qatar is a valued partner for the UK, supported by Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad's leadership," British Prime Minister, Boris Johnson said.

"We had a rich discussion on the issues that matter to both of our countries, including boosting the economy, ensuring regional stability and improving energy security following Russia's appalling invasion of Ukraine."
