“Being named a strategic country for investments by both Qatar and Kuwait is very important for our country,” he said.

He highlighted the importance of the relationship “between the private and public sector,” and repeated that everyone in the delegation “is very happy because very important deals have been signed, which could create big revenue in the country.”
