Last week on Monday, a top-tier trade delegation from Portugal arrived in Qatar, headed by Nuno Anahory, who is a board member of the Arab-Portuguese Chamber of Commerce. This group, consisting of representatives from various Portuguese sectors, aims to enhance economic relationships and investigate investment opportunities between the two countries.
Upon their arrival, the delegation was welcomed by Eng Ali bin Abdul Latif Al-Mesnad, a member of the Qatar Chamber Board. He emphasized the remarkable progress in the relations between Qatar and Portugal, reaffirming Qatar’s dedication to nurturing stronger business partnerships and promoting collaborations that align with shared economic goals.
In addition to the discussions, Licorne Gulf, an investment holding company operating in Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and Qatar for the past 37 years, owned by Irina Duisimbekova and Alexandre Katrangi, pointed out the potential for strategic initiatives that could boost bilateral trade. They indicated that Qatar offers an investment-friendly climate with advantages such as complete foreign ownership in most industries, tax breaks, and simplified business processes. Moreover, Qatar’s sophisticated infrastructure and strategic location further elevate its appeal as a prime investment destination.
Licorne Gulf encouraged Mr. Anahory to become a Senior Board Member of their holding, highlighting the country’s investor-centric policies and strong economic structure, which create an attractive environment for international collaborations. They also expressed their commitment to fully support efforts in fostering business interactions between companies from Portugal and Brazil.
