Qatar-Turkey private sector cooperation is gaining momentum as both countries explore deeper trade and investment opportunities. Qatar Chamber (QC) recently hosted a Turkish trade delegation to discuss collaboration across multiple industries, highlighting marble and natural stone as priority sectors. This meeting reflects growing interest in expanding economic and private-sector partnerships between Doha and Ankara.
First Vice-Chairman of Qatar Chamber, Mohamed bin Twar Al Kuwari, met with Chairman of the Sivas Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Zeki Ozdemir, alongside Chairman of the Turkish Business Council – Qatar, Abdullah Altunkum. During discussions, Al Kuwari emphasized Qatar’s commitment to fostering Qatar-Turkey private sector cooperation. He assured the delegation that the Chamber would assist Turkish companies in finding local partners and navigating Qatar’s investment landscape.
Al Kuwari highlighted Qatar’s advanced infrastructure and the benefits of free and economic zones. He said these offer a strategic gateway for foreign companies seeking growth opportunities in the region. “Qatar provides a conducive environment for investment and joint ventures,” he added, reinforcing the importance of Qatar-Turkey private sector cooperation.
Zeki Ozdemir explained that the delegation included leading Turkish firms specializing in marble and natural stone. He shared insights on Sivas city, noting its century-old Chamber of Commerce and its dynamic industrial and trade network. Ozdemir also discussed the city’s growing expertise in optical military industries, tourism, and general trade, signaling a wide range of partnership prospects for Qatari investors.
The meeting reflects both nations’ dedication to strengthening bilateral economic relations. QC’s support aims to ensure smooth entry for Turkish companies, while Turkish investors gain exposure to Qatar’s growing market. This initiative aligns with broader regional efforts to diversify trade and encourage private-sector-driven growth.
The discussions also included plans for joint ventures, technology exchange, and investment in high-value sectors. Both sides agreed that such collaboration could enhance economic resilience, create jobs, and stimulate innovation across industries. Qatar’s strategic position in the Gulf further increases the attractiveness of these partnerships.
As Qatar and Turkey continue exploring private sector cooperation, the potential for sustainable trade growth and industrial development rises. With clear plans for partnership, the two countries are poised to deepen economic ties and maximize opportunities for businesses on both sides.
