Qatar's Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani will visit Damascus on Thursday, APA reports citibg Reuters.

In January, a U.S. official and a senior diplomat said Qatar planned to help finance a sharp increase in public sector wages pledged by Syria's new government.

Earlier in January, Qatar's Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani visited Damascus.

Qatar will supply Syria with 200 megawatts of electricity, and plans to gradually increase supply, Thani said in a press conference in Damascus on Thursday.

In December, Qatar said it would reopen its embassy in Damascus after more than 13 years.

Qatar shut its embassy in July 2011 after withdrawing its ambassador in protest against Assad's deadly crackdown on demonstrators, violence that spiraled into a 13-year-long civil war.
