The Qatar Chamber hosted Tuesday a large trade delegation from the Republic of Belarus representing key industries, such as milk, dairy products, meat, foodstuffs, poultry, and beverages.
Engineer Ali bin Abdullatif al-Misnad, Qatar Chamber board member, received the delegation, which was led by Alexander Milyutin. Other participants of the meeting included a number of representatives of Qatari companies specialising in foodstuffs.
Speaking at the meeting, al-Misnad lauded the close relations between Qatar and Belarus, noting that there were many MoUs and agreements signed between both sides in various fields.
He also said the meeting offers a “great opportunity” for Qatari firms and their Belarusian counterparts to review co-operation opportunities in a number of commercial sectors relating to the agriculture and food sectors.
Al-Misnad underscored the role of the private sector in developing both countries’ bilateral relations and trade exchange, citing the need to establish commercial alliances, active partnerships, and mutual investments whether in Qatar or in Belarus. He called on Qatari and Belarusian companies to increase their co-operation and forge investment projects that are advantageous for both economies.
He also invited Qatari investors to explore the opportunities available in Belarus and benefit from the potential and incentives offered by the government. Al-Misnad encouraged Belarusian companies to invest in Qatar, which offers advanced infrastructure, investment-friendly legislation, and an attractive investment climate and opportunities in all sectors.
Al-Misnad stressed that the chamber is keen to encourage the enhancing of co-operation between the Qatari and Belarusian private sectors and establishing commercial alliances.
He said Qatar is a regional logistic re-export hub and a gateway to the Gulf, Mena, and Middle Asian markets. Al-Misnad stressed the chamber’s support and preparedness to help Belarusian companies willing to invest in Qatar.
Milyutin said the delegation consists of representatives from nine companies specialising in milk production, dairy products, meat and poultry, and foodstuffs. He invited Qatari businessmen to invest in Belarus and visit the Belarusian pavilion at the ‘10th Qatar International Agricultural Exhibition (AgriteQ) 2023’, which kicks off today at the Doha Exhibition and Convention Centre (DECC) to learn more about the Belarusian products.
