Qatar Development Bank (QDB), through its export development and promotion agency, Tasdeer, recently showcased 35 Qatari small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) from the country’s construction sector at ‘Infra Oman’.
QDB CEO Abdulaziz bin Nasser al-Khalifa said: “As His Excellency the ambassador of Qatar to Oman very rightly said, ‘Oman today is a new gateway to Qatar’. In Qatar Development Bank’s latest experience at the Infra Oman exhibition this year, we have learnt that through exporting Qatari products to Oman and other interested regional and international parties attending Oman’s exhibition, Qatar has found a very new door to the world.
“Harnessing the natural leverage of our region’s geography, and with the support of true friends and brotherly nations like Oman, we look forward to strengthening our export trade across international commercial markets by sea and by air, close and far.”  
Hassan Khalifa al-Mansoori, executive director of Export Development & Promotion Agency – Tasdeer, said: “At QDB, we are proud to serve as our nation’s commerce and trade diplomats. To this end, we mirror our country’s longstanding position of seeking constructive ties with all of our neighbours and we have found Oman to be a very warm and welcoming regional market.
“This year, Qatari companies partake in this regionally well-renowned exhibition – Infra Oman, with the aim of entering into mutually-beneficial agreements with our Omani partners, as well as other regional and international partners.”
