Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan will meet with his Bulgarian counterpart Boyko Borisov and Qatari PM Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber Al Thani in Bulgaria on Friday, reports say.

Al Thani is to arrive to the Bulgarian capital on Thursday on the invitation of Borisov, while Erdogan's short visit on Friday was announced yesterday.

The Bulgarian National Radio has cited Turkish sources saying that the three Prime Ministers will hold a joint meeting on Friday. They are expected to focus on trade, energy and transport issues, as well as specific projects and investments.

Borisov and Erdogan are expected to discuss the construction of a natural gas interconnection pipeline between Bulgaria and Turkey, which is to allow the former to receive gas supplies from Azerbaijan.

An agreement for Qatari investments of USD 100 M that was discussed during Borisov mid-March to Qatar is also expected to be among the key topics.
