Hager said: “The US Chamber of Commerce is a powerful advocate of US business worldwide and we have been fortunate to have their support since our founding in 2010. We can always count on their sound advice and guidance, making available the resources of the chamber to help us promote US business in Qatar and expand the commercial relationship between the two countries.”
Donohue added: “Qatar has a vibrant, growing market that American businesses are eager to access. The US Chamber will continue working with AmCham Qatar, as well as government and business leaders to explore new ways in which our nations can collaborate to strengthen this important bilateral economic relationship.”
