Qatar Chamber official eyeing activation of Qatari-Tajik Joint Business Council

The Qatar-Tajik Business Forum, which was held in Doha on Monday, is seen to enhance co-operation between the Qatari private sector and its counterpart from the Republic of Tajikistan, as well as explore opportunities for partnership and investment between businessmen from both sides.
Qatar Chamber first vice-chairman Mohamed bin Towar al-Kuwari made the statement during the forum in the presence of Tajikistan President Emomali Rahmon, who expressed keen interest in developing economic and commercial relations between both countries.
The forum was highlighted by the presence of HE the Minister of Commerce and Industry Sheikh Mohamed bin Hamad bin Qassim al-Thani, as well as Qatar Chamber board members and several businessmen from Qatar and Tajikistan.
Addressing the forum, al-Kuwari noted that Qatar and Tajikistan “are bound by a strong and fast-growing relationship,” which has been bolstered through mutual high-level visits and the signing of several agreements in various fields.
Al-Kuwari noted that both countries’ trade volume is still below expectations and don’t correspond with the available potential in both countries. Activating mutual investments and forging joint ventures would be crucial in the role to be played by the private sectors in developing trade between both nations.
He called on companies in Tajikistan to capitalise on the incentives the country is providing foreign investors, including Qatar’s world-class infrastructure, leading economic legislation, and investment opportunities in the free zones and industrial areas.
Al-Kuwari underscored the significance of boosting co-operation between Qatari and Tajik firms through establishing commercial alliances and active partnerships. He further stressed the importance of activating the Qatar-Tajik Joint Business Council, especially in light of the agreements signed between the Qatar and Tajikistan chambers last year.
He also noted that the business council will play a key role in strengthening co-operation between the private sectors on both sides in various commercial and investment fields.
