Economies around the globe have now become highly inter-dependent and inter-connected, and this was evident after the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, noted Sheikh Dr Khalid bin Thani bin Abdullah al-Thani, QIIB chairman and managing director.
During his participation in Qatar Economic Forum's opening session and its sub-sequent discussions from New York, Sheikh Dr Khalid said, “There are a lot of experiences that can be drawn from Qatar's multiple successes in dealing with the economic challenges that were imposed by the Covid-19 pandemic, which can benefit other countries. "Likewise, the Qatari economy, and particularly the Qatari business sector may equally benefit from the successes and constructive experiences of other countries. In this lies the main goal of the Qatar Economic Forum – the exchange of ideas, co-operation and interaction of various nations, towards a better future for all.”
At the forum, Sheikh Dr Khalid also expressed his opinion regarding the direction that should be taken by the Qatari business sector, encouraging regional and international co-operation.
He noted that the Qatari Economic Forum (QEF) that was held under the sponsorship of His Highness Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani, the Amir of the State of Qatar, represented a genuine desire to create an economic strategy that may facilitate the engagement in constructive dialogue and encourage co-operation among various nations and their people, to ensure a better future for all.
“The forum held under the title ‘New horizons for tomorrow’ represents an optimistic outlook for the future and a desire to develop a spirit of economic mutuality and co-operation among the various nations of the world, which is an essential factor in reaching higher and more appropriate levels of progress and development worldwide.”
Sheikh Dr Khalid noted “he was overtaken by a deep sense of national pride after hearing the opening statement of HH the Amir, which was an open invitation for dialogue and co-operation.”
He noted that the statement accurately pinpointed the problems being faced by the global economy during these trying times, and emphasised the importance of co-operation, communication and the creation and implementation of economic plans and strategies, as catalysts for the improvement of the current Global status quo.
Sheikh Dr Khalid said, “The importance of the first edition of the QEF is represented in the fact that it was held during a difficult period and under challenging circumstances. Yet, it managed to become a global platform for the expression of differing voices, opinions and suggestions, serving as a vehicle for economic progress in sectors, where workers were always in need of a medium to express their ideas and share their experiences, and through which they could build partnerships. The forum definitely left an overall positive impact on all participating parties and countries.”
