Officials of Qatar Chamber have held individual meetings with several heads of delegations representing member countries of the Organisation of Islamic Co-operation (OIC) on the sidelines of the 39th General Assembly Meeting of the Islamic Chamber of Commerce, Industry, and Agriculture (ICCIA) recently held in Doha.
Qatar Chamber chairman Sheikh Khalifa bin Jassim al-Thani was joined by board members Dr Mohamed bin Jawhar al-Mohamed, Abdul Rahman bin Abdul Jalil al-Abdul Ghani, and Abdullah bin Mohamed al-Emadi during the meeting.
They met with the following officials: Abdou Idrees, president of the Federation of Palestinian Chambers of Commerce, Industry and Agriculture (FPCCIA); Khalil el-Haji Tawfiq, president of the Jordan Chamber of Commerce; Hossein Selahvarzi, president of the Iran Chamber of Commerce, Industries, Mines, and Agriculture (ICCIMA);
Mammad Musayev, president of the National Confederation of Entrepreneurs (Employers) of Azerbaijan Republic (ASK); Olive Kigongo, president of the Uganda National Chamber of Commerce & Industry (NCCI); and Ibrahim Jani AbdulGaniyu, vice president of the Nigerian Association of Chambers of Commerce, Industry, Mines and Agriculture (NACCIMA).
The meetings focused on strengthening cooperation relations between Qatar Chamber and their Islamic counterparts and exploring ways to enhance private sector ties of all parties concerned. The discussions also aimed at boosting trade, stimulating mutual investments, and exploring the possibility of establishing joint ventures.
During these meetings, Sheikh Khalifa emphasised the chamber’s eagerness to strengthen cooperative relations with all chambers of commerce in Islamic states. He said, “This commitment stems from the conviction that concerted efforts are necessary to elevate inter-Islamic trade, which currently falls below our aspirations.”
