The meeting focused on ways to strengthen economic and commercial co-operation between the private sectors of both countries, particularly in the high-technology sector.
Al-Kuwari emphasised the chamber’s commitment to strengthening co-operation between the Qatari private sector and its Belarusian counterpart and encouraging Qatari investors to explore the abundant opportunities available in Belarus.
He noted that trade exchange between the two countries “remains below expectations,” despite the presence of numerous Qatari-Belarus joint investments and several Belarusian companies operating in Qatar.
Underscoring the importance of the delegation’s visit, al-Kuwari highlighted the Qatari private sector’s keen interest in high-tech services and digital transformation, adding that Qatari businessmen are eager to learn more about the services offered by Belarusian companies.
Zalessky expressed the delegation’s interest in exploring co-operation opportunities with Qatari companies in the IT sector. He provided an overview of Hi-Tech Park Belarus, highlighting that it hosts over 1,000 leading companies, contributes 4% to Belarus’s GDP, and accounts for 30% of the country’s exports.
He emphasised the significance of the IT sector in Belarus, noting that Belarusian companies are leaders in European markets. He also commended Qatar Chamber for hosting the meeting, describing it as a vital platform for fostering economic alliances and partnerships between companies from both countries, whether in Qatar or internationally.
