Qatar Chamber Explores Trade Cooperation With Burkina Faso

Qatar Chamber acting general manager Ali Bu Sherbak al-Mansouri held a meeting yesterday with a trade delegation from Burkina Faso at the chamber’s Lusail headquarters.

The delegation, which included representatives from a number of companies operating in the agricultural and commercial sectors, was led by Abdoulaye Sawadogo, chairman of the Nafaso Group, and accompanied by Amidou Coulibaly, chargé d'affaires of the Embassy of Burkina Faso in Qatar.

During the meeting, both sides discussed ways to enhance bilateral cooperation between Qatar and Burkina Faso in the fields of trade, agriculture, and the economy, as well as the vital role of the Qatari private sector in promoting trade relations between the two countries.

The meeting also touched on the possibility of signing a memorandum of understanding between Qatar Chamber and the Burkina Faso Chamber of Commerce to strengthen cooperation between the two chambers, create broader opportunities for collaboration between business communities from both countries, and promote mutual investments.

In his remarks, al-Mansouri affirmed the chamber’s readiness to cooperate with the Burkinabe side to further develop trade and investment relations between the two nations.

He noted that the current level of trade exchange remains below aspirations and emphasised the importance of strengthening the role of the private sector in fostering mutual investments and enhancing trade flows.
