In a statement released on the occasion, Minister of Commerce and Industry HE Sheikh Mohammed bin Hamad bin Qassim Al Thani said, “We recognise that the world is becoming more interconnected and that collaboration between nations and people is essential in driving economic growth. It is an honour to welcome the international business community back to Doha for the third edition of the ‘Qatar Economic Forum, Powered by Bloomberg’, a growing platform for knowledge exchange and dialogue on key topics on the global agenda. Our commitment to shaping the future of economic progress remains as strong as ever, and we look forward to welcoming entrepreneurs, thought leaders, and decision-makers to the Forum.”
