Qatar Chamber has held meetings with officials from Uganda and Chad to review investment relations with both countries.
Qatar Chamber first vice-chairman Mohamed bin Towar al-Kuwari met with Uganda’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Odongo Jeje Abu Bakr, as well as with Ali Adji, the president of the Chamber of Commerce, Industry, Agriculture, Mines and Handicrafts of Chad.
Al-Kuwari’s meeting with the minister touched on the economic and commercial relations between Qatar and Uganda and the means to enhance them, and the most prominent sectors in which Qatari investors can invest.
Al-Kuwari stressed that the chamber strongly encourages Qatari businessmen to explore the investment opportunities available in friendly countries, such as Uganda, noting that Uganda is rich in investment opportunities and offers many incentives in various sectors like mining, agriculture, and infrastructure.
Abu Bakr said his country offers a host of investment opportunities in a number of sectors, indicating that there is room for enhancing co-operation between businessmen from both countries, as well as establishing partnerships that are advantageous for both economies. He also underscored the leading role of chambers on both sides in stimulating businessmen to explore available opportunities.
The minister also called on Qatari investors to invest in his country, which offers multiple opportunities in agriculture, mining, halal products, and Islamic banking. He invited Qatari investors to visit Uganda to learn about its investment climate and review the possibility to forge partnerships with their Ugandan counterparts.
Al-Kuwari’s meeting with Adji, on the other hand, discussed means to enhance investment and commercial relations between Qatar and Chad, and the available opportunities in the Central African nation’s diverse sectors, such as agriculture, livestock, and housing.
Al-Kuwari underscored the interest of Qatari investors to explore investment opportunities in Chad, saying they are looking at African markets, such as Chad, which is replete with plenty of opportunities.
Adji said Chad welcomes Qatari investments, noting that the country owns “tremendous potential” in agriculture and livestock. He also said Chad has a host of products that could be exported to Qatar, including meat, cotton, sesame, corm, natural gum, peanuts, and salt.
