The Qatar Chamber and Sudan have discussed strengthening their commercial and economic cooperation, with a particular emphasis on boosting regional trade and investments between the two countries.
The talks also emphasized the crucial role of the private sector in driving intra-regional economic growth and strengthening trade ties between the two countries.
The meeting took place between HE Mohamed bin Twar Al Kuwari, First Vice Chairman of the Qatar Chamber, and HE Badr Al-Din Abdullah Mohamed Ahmed, Ambassador of the Republic of Sudan to the State of Qatar.
Both parties discussed ways to further expand bilateral trade and investment opportunities, reinforcing the importance of private sector involvement in fostering economic collaboration.
In his remarks, HE Mohamed bin Twar praised the close fraternal relations between the two countries, noting that trade exchange between Qatar and Sudan recorded a growth of 16 percent last year, growing from $13 million (QAR 50 million) in 2023 to $15 million (QAR 58 million) in 2024.
Further, Al Kuwari pointed out that despite this growth, the volume of trade remains below the level of ambition and the capabilities available to both countries, which places a significant responsibility on the private sector in both countries to further enhance trade and investment cooperation.
For his part, the Sudanese Ambassador HE Badr al-Din Abdullah Mohamad Ahmed, praised the close relations between the two brotherly countries, noting that Sudan is rife of investment opportunities in various sectors such as minerals, agriculture, livestock, Arabic gum, and others, and that there are facilities for Qatari investors wishing to invest in Sudan.
