Qatar Chamber chairman Sheikh Khalifa bin Jassim al-Thani has called for an increase in Arab exports to France during the board meeting of the Arab-French Chamber of Commerce held recently in Paris, France.
The meeting reviewed the activities and events, which will be held in 2022, and the means to enhance co-operation relations between France and Arab countries in the fields of trade and investment.
Shiekh Khalifa emphasised the growing relations between Arab countries and France, noting that Qatar Chamber works closely with Arab members in the Arab-French Chamber of Commerce to unify the stance towards various economic and commercial issues that would promote the growth of Arab exports to France.
He underscored the close relations between the State of Qatar and France, stressing Qatar Chamber’s keenness on bolstering cooperation ties between Qatari businessmen and their counterparts in France.
France is an important trade partner to Qatar, he said, adding that trade volume last year amounted to QR5bn; it reached about QR4bn during the first nine months of 2021. Sheikh Khalifa also stressed that Qatari investors are eager to access the French market, which is characterised by an attractive investment environment and viable opportunities.
