Today, Monday, Qatar and Turkey are organizing a virtual seminar to issue the first joint report on bilateral investment relations.
The Investment Office of the Presidency of the Republic of Turkey, in cooperation with the Qatar Investment Promotion Agency, is holding a seminar to issue a report highlighting the main features of mutual cooperation between the two institutions, according to the Anadolu Agency correspondent.
The event marks the one-year anniversary of the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding agreement, at the fifth session of the Qatari-Turkish Higher Strategic Committee, which was held in Doha, in 2019, between the bodies concerned with investment in the two countries.
During the symposium, success stories will be reviewed to show the value that investors have achieved in both Qatar and Turkey.
A number of high-ranking Turkish and Qatari officials concerned with investment will participate in the event.
Ankara and Doha are strategic partners cooperating on many issues at the bilateral, regional and international levels.
Bilateral relations witnessed remarkable progress in all fields in recent years.
It should be noted that the Qatar-Turkey Joint Higher Strategic Committee was established in 2014, and Doha hosted its first session in December of the following year.
Their economic and commercial relations have witnessed a great development in recent years, and increased following the blockade imposed on Doha in June 2017, and Turkey has become one of the most attractive countries for Qatari capital in many sectors, of which tourism and real estate are the most prominent.
The Emir of the State of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan held talks last month in Ankara, within the framework of the sixth meeting of the Joint Higher Strategic Committee.
During the meeting, the two sides signed 10 agreements in the military, security and economic fields, including one under which Qatar would buy the Istinye Park commercial center in Istanbul, as well as the Qatar Ports Company's acquisition of the company that manages the "Middle East" port in Antalya.
The Turkish sovereign wealth fund signed a memorandum of understanding with the Qatar Investment Authority regarding the purchase of 10% of the Istanbul Stock Exchange.
The two parties also agreed to form a joint committee to enhance economic cooperation between them, in addition to an agreement related to water resources management.
