Qatar Chamber delegation eyes investment cooperation in Oklahoma visit

Qatar Chamber recently participated in a Qatari investment delegation’s visit to Oklahoma City in the US.

The delegation conducted a series of meetings with officials and business leaders in the city, focusing on economic and cultural cooperation between the two sides. The chamber was represented by Abdulaziz al-Kuwari, director of the Legal Affairs Department.

Al-Kuwari took part in an economic roundtable session that highlighted Qatar’s investment objectives and the favourable economic environment in Oklahoma. He discussed trade and investment partnerships between both nations, emphasising that the US is one of Qatar’s “most significant trading partners.”

He also outlined Qatar’s efforts in developing its technology infrastructure, underscoring the country’s ambition to become a regional hub for technological innovation in the Middle East. He stressed that the technology sector is a top priority for cooperation, as it plays a crucial role in driving growth across industries such as financial services, industry, agriculture, logistics, and transportation.

Al-Kuwari stated: “In 2015, Qatar Chamber signed an MoU with the US Chamber of Commerce to strengthen business cooperation. A joint business council was established to facilitate trade and investment between the two countries as part of this initiative.

“The council has undertaken various activities to provide insights into economic, trade, and investment opportunities, culminating in the launch of the US-Qatar Business Portal (portal.usqbc.org), which offers up-to-date information on both economies.”

Furthermore, al-Kuwari highlighted another key agreement, which Qatar Chamber had signed with the Arab American Chamber of Commerce to enhance collaboration between business owners in both regions.
