Oman, Qatar explore stronger trade and investment ties
MUSCAT: Qais bin Mohammed al Yousef, Minister of Commerce, Industry and Investment Promotion, received Dr Ahmed bin Mohammed al Sayed, Minister of State for Foreign Trade Affairs of the State of Qatar, at the 'Invest in Oman' Lounge on Sunday to discuss boosting trade and investment relations between the two nations.
The meeting focused on strengthening bilateral economic cooperation and unlocking new opportunities in trade and investment to advance shared development goals.
The Qatari delegation was briefed on Oman's investment landscape through a series of visual presentations highlighting the Ministry's responsibilities, the "Invest in Oman" platform, strategic partnerships, and available opportunities from the Ministry of Housing and Urban Planning.
The visitors also toured the 'Invest in Oman' lounge, which serves as a one-stop investment facilitation center offering streamlined services to both local and international investors.
A key part of the discussions included Oman's investment incentives, the Investor Residency Programme, and advantages within the Sultanate's special economic and free zones—areas that play a vital role in attracting foreign capital.
