Qatar has committed substantial amount of its natural gas for China and India, the country's energy minister said on Monday.

Petroleum and Mineral Resources Minister Abdulla bin Hamad al-Attiyah said his country had already signed shipment contract of 12 tons of liquefied natural gas to China and signed shipment contract of seven tons of liquefied natural gas to India.

Qatar and India are negotiating over the shipment of another four tons of gas.

The Qatari official made the statement before the 12th International Energy Forum to be held here on Tuesday and Wednesday.

The Qatari minister attributed the signed shipment contract to China and India to trust between natural gas producers and importers.

"We have created the trust between the producers and importers over the years," said al-Attiyah, "while the International Energy Forum also contributed to the trust-building."
