The US-Qatar Business Council (USQBC) recently hosted a luncheon reception in Washington, DC for the council’s US member companies, featuring newly-confirmed ambassador to the State of Qatar, Timmy T Davis.
Mohamed Barakat, USQBC managing director and treasurer of the board of directors, delivered the welcome remarks followed by USQBC president and former congressman Scott Taylor, who delivered his remarks and introduced Davis. Davis also delivered a speech, which was followed by a Q&A session for USQBC members.
During his remarks, Davis highlighted the strength of the US-Qatar commercial partnerships and his commitment to advancing these relations.
Taylor said, “Qatar is a critical ally of the United States and we collaborate on a range of issues. Ambassador Davis, who has incredible international diplomatic experience, is a US Marine and will represent our country well in Doha. We are excited about his appointment and we look forward to working with him to advance US-Qatar bilateral business relations.”
Barakat added: “It is our pleasure to host ambassador Timmy T Davis at the USQBC Head Office in Washington, DC. Given his vast experience and knowledge, we are excited for ambassador Davis’ contribution to the expansion of bilateral ties between the two countries.”
Davis, who hails from Virginia and is a career member of the Senior Foreign Service, Class of Counsellor, was recently confirmed by the Senate by voice vote to be Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the US to the State of Qatar.
Before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on June 16, 2022, Davis said: “Our commercial relationship with Qatar directly benefits the American people, and…I [will] seek to deepen commercial ties…recent deals between Qatari and American companies like Boeing’s sale of cargo planes to Qatar Airways have created tens of thousands of American jobs. I [will] also advocate on behalf of American companies pursuing opportunities in Qatar.”
This year marks the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the US and the State of Qatar. This milestone signifies the longevity and strength of the bilateral ties between the two countries.
The US and Qatar have established a solid base for distinguished regional and international political relations, in addition to deep commercial, security, and cultural partnerships.
The countries share strong business ties in multiple sections, including aviation and defence, and information and communication technology, supported by robust efforts from the US Embassy in Doha. In recognition of this special partnership, President Joe Biden designated Qatar as a “Major Non-Nato Ally” to the US.
