DOHA: Qatar Chamber has been chosen as a member of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) World Chambers Federation (WCF) General Council; a statement issued by the Chamber has said.
Qatar Chamber Board Member and Secretary-General of ICC Qatar Dr. Khalid bin Klefeekh Al Hajri (pictured) will represent the Chamber at the Council which includes 32 members.
Qatar Chamber said that this selection at the WCF assured the confidence of the international business community in the vital role played by the Chamber in the field of international trade, especially that the WCF seeks boosting ties between member chambers to help them become more productive.
This achievement is the culmination of the efforts led by QC Chairman Sheikh Khalifa bin Jassim Al Thani with the aim at activating the role of the Qatar Chamber at the international level.
QC succeeded in playing an important role in promoting trade between world countries through the World Trade Agenda (WTO) initiative launched in cooperation with the International Chamber of Commerce in 2012.
WTO helps governments identify the main priority areas for inclusive trade. It aims to stimulate the global economy by helping advance the multilateral trade negotiations.
QC also played a key role in the endorsement of the Trade Facilitation Agreement (TFA) signed during the Ministerial Conference of the World Trade Organization held in Bali in 2014. TFA played a significant role in supporting SMEs between countries with the aim of achieving security and stability globally, as SMEs represent 90% of world countries’ economies.
