Doha: First Vice-Chairman of the Qatar Chamber, Mohamed bin Twar Al Kuwari, met on Thursday at the Chamber’s headquarters with a delegation from the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA), headed by Deputy Executive Secretary and Chief Economist, Hanan Morsy. The meeting was also attended by Sheikha Tamader Al-Thani, the Secretary-General of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) Qatar and Director of the International Relations and Chamber Affairs Department at the Qatar Chamber.
According to Qatar News Agency, discussions focused on the prospects for cooperation, particularly in promoting investments from the region into the African continent.

The meeting also addressed the challenges facing investors in African countries, ways to overcome them, and the risks that may hinder international investments in the continent.
The gathering further explored the proposal for Qatar to become a regional hub for investment in Africa, serving as a key gateway for regional investors seeking to channel their investments into African markets. This proposal received strong support from the Qatar Chamber, which affirmed its commitment to studying suitable mechanisms to bring this initiative to fruition. The Chamber also reiterated its keenness to build bridges of trade and economic cooperation with African nations and to support initiatives that contribute to sustainable development across the continent.
