Agreement to facilitate programmes to engage Qatari and American business community
Following on from the success of the Qatar – USA 2021 Year of Culture, and in celebration of 50 years of diplomatic relations with the US, Qatar Museums (QM) and the US – Qatar Business Council signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to continue strengthening ties and facilitating business opportunities.
As part of the agreement, which upholds the business pillar of the Year of Culture initiative, QM’s Years of Culture and the US – Qatar Business Council will work collaboratively to develop programmes to engage the Qatari and American business community.
The collaboration will include the exchange of materials and publications; planning events and activities; engaging local and American businesses; and co-organising specialised conferences, seminars, and workshops.
QM CEO Ahmad Musa al-Namla and US Qatar Business Council Doha office managing director Sheikha Mayes bint Hamad al-Thani signed the MoU in Doha.
“The Qatar – USA 2021 Year of Culture was an immense success that both nations can be proud of. Through the signing of this MoU, QM looks forward to working closely with the US – Qatar Business Council to build on last year’s legacy and to facilitate and advance new American business opportunities in Qatar through knowledge exchange and dialogue,” al-Namla said.
The US – Qatar Business Council is a non-profit, private sector organisation based in Washington, DC, and Qatar, that develops, supports, and advances the bilateral business relationship between the US and the State of Qatar.
“The US Qatar Business Council is determined to support and enhance the extensive economic relations between Qatar and the US. One approach to deliver this mission is by partnering with local entities. Our partnership with QM will enable us to drive the business pillar under the Year of Culture,” added Sheikha Mayes.
The Qatar – USA 2021 Year of Culture involved a wide-ranging mix of exhibitions, festivals, bilateral exchanges, and events in Qatar and the US intended to enhance cultural and artistic exchange and exemplify the renewed commitment of the two nations to foster mutual understanding and promote intercultural dialogue.
QM Chairperson HE Sheikha Al Mayassa bint Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani established the Years of Culture in 2012 to highlight and strengthen ties between Qatar and a new partner nation each year.
