Qatar prime minister Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim says the state is interested in investing in RBS and Lloyds Banking Group.

The UK government is planning to sell its 83% stake in RBS and 43% stake in Lloyds.

"About any investment in the state or partially-state owned banks, we are very open for any investment in the UK," says Hamad bin Jassim.

The leader says he discussed investment options with David Cameron during the prime minister's Middle Eastern tour, according to the BBC.

"Our team has been engaged and we will continue to discuss investment in the UK," he adds.
