USQBC hosts members briefing with US envoy to Qatar

The US Qatar Business Council (USQBC) has organised a briefing featuring US ambassador to Qatar, Timmy T Davis, in a recently-held event in Doha.
The briefing was hosted for USQBC member companies and featured USQBC members from a variety of sectors from both Qatar and the US.
The event featured brief remarks by Davis where he discussed the strong trade and investment ties between the US and Qatar and the growing number of business opportunities between both countries.
This was followed by a Q&A session with Davis, who said: “The US-Qatar Business Council is a key stakeholder group for US Embassy Doha. I look forward to partnering and engaging with them even more in 2023 on different projects like the upcoming ‘SelectUSA Summit’ and the US-Qatar Strategic Dialogue.
“Economic engagement between the US embassy in Qatar and organisations like the US-Qatar Business Council ultimately leads to more opportunities for US and Qatar-based companies alike.”
In her introductory remarks, Sheikha Mayes bint Hamad al-Thani, managing director of USQBC Doha Office, said: “It is a pleasure to have Ambassador Timmy Davis attend our USQBC members briefing.
“His presence at our event highlights the robust partnership between USQBC and the US embassy in Doha, and the potential for furthering business ties and collaboration through a shared commercial agenda and future programs.”
Sheikha Mayes used the opportunity to announce the launch of USQBC’s latest publication titled ‘50 Years of Partnership: The State of Qatar and the United States of America’.
The report includes key historical and diplomatic landmarks achieved by both countries and details their cooperation across many areas, including defense and security, investment and trade, and cultural collaboration.
The report was sponsored by three USQBC member companies. ConocoPhillips sponsored the publication at the Platinum Level. ExxonMobil sponsored at the Gold Level and Lulu Group International/Y International USA sponsored the publication at the Silver Level.
“USQBC is proud to have a strong partnership with the US embassy in Qatar. Our collaboration with the embassy has been instrumental in advancing our shared goals and supporting the growth of commercial ties between the US and Qatar over the years. We look forward to continuing to work closely with the US embassy to create meaningful opportunities for our members and the business community,” Sheikha Mayes added.
