The meetings included the meeting of the IRU Customs Affairs Committee and the International Road Transport Conference under the slogan “Leading Resilience and Prosperity… The Road Ahead: 75 Years of the TIR International Road Transport System.”
The TIR Congress attracted more than 140 participants from different countries. The conference addressed enhancing global connectivity and promoting economic growth through the TIR system. Participants also discussed current challenges in the field of transport and communications, and exchanged views on ways to further simplify transport procedures and promote fully digital transport operations.
On the sidelines of the conference, Eng. Ali bin Abdul Latif Al-Misnad, a member of the Board of Directors of Qatar Chamber, met with Mr. Davron Vakhabov, Chairman of the Uzbekistan Chamber of Commerce and Industry. During the meeting, which was held at the headquarters of the Uzbekistan Chamber in the capital, Tashkent, they discussed bilateral cooperation relations between the two chambers and ways to develop them in a way that enhances trade and economic cooperation between the business sectors in the two friendly countries.
The meeting also reviewed the investment climate in both Qatar and Uzbekistan and the available investment opportunities, stressing the importance of establishing joint and mutual projects between businessmen in the two countries, in addition to the common desire for the State of Qatar to become, thanks to its distinguished geographical location, a station for Uzbekistan’s trade to the region.
Al-Misnad praised the good relations between the two countries, and said that despite this, trade exchange does not rise to the level of these relations and does not meet our ambitions, pointing out that there is a common desire on both sides to develop trade and investment cooperation in a way that benefits the economies of both countries.
