Chamber official calls on local companies to join Qatar Freight Forwarding and Logistics Association

An official of Qatar Chamber has called on private sector companies working in freight, logistics services, and customs clearance to join the Qatar Association for Freight Forwarding and Logistics (QAFL), which will be launched by the chamber soon.
According to Qatar Chamber board member Ali bin Abdullatif al-Misnad, who is also the president of the QAFL, the chamber recently became a member of the International Federation of Freight Forwarders Associations (FIATA) based in Geneva, Switzerland, which is the leading global organisation representing the interests of freight forwarders worldwide.
Al-Misnad emphasised that the QAFL will represent the freight forwarding sector in Qatar, noting that it will be the official representative of the FIATA in the country. He invited companies willing to join the QAFL to fill out an application form, which is available on the chamber’s website.
Elaborating on membership benefits, al-Misnad said member companies will have constant contact with the committee and will participate in drafting policies and reviewing issues related to the sector.
“The QAFL will be the voice and link between companies and concerned bodies in the state and it will work to protect their interests and enable them to attend seminars, conferences, and workshops related to the sector,” he pointed out.
Al-Misnad added that the first meeting of the QAFL is scheduled for this coming February on the third week of the month.
