The Qatari-Tunisian Business Council discussed ways of enhancing mutual economic cooperation at its meeting at the Qatar Chamber (QC) headquarters yesterday, in particular at the fields of agriculture, building materials, tourism, medicine, and metal industry. The head of the Qatari side Abdulrahman bin Abdulla al-Ansari said the two parties have signed 15 agreements and protocols of cooperation covering all economic, culture, education and technological fields. He said both parties should give more focus on investment at the tourist sector due to its vital importance in diversifying the sources of income. Meanwhile, Mohamed al-Kaali, head of the
Tunisian side, highly appreciated the efforts of the QC in facilitating such a meeting between Tunisian businesspersons and their Qatari counterparts, stressing that both parties have a great prospective for more effective cooperation for the private sector. He said Qatari businessmen can explore excellent opportunities in the
agriculture sector and the medicine industry in Tunisia, which can also open more promising markets for them in Africa. Eventually, the council recommended the creation of a sub-committee to follow up the works and achievements of the council. Further, the Tunisian delegation invited Qatari businessmen to visit their countries to explore the available investment opportunities.
