Australian trade mission to visit Qatar from Saturday

Doha: President of the Australia Qatar Business Council (AQBC) Simon Harrison (pictured) will be visiting Doha from March 19 to meet with government officials and Qatari companies to develop mutual trade and investment between the two nations.

This is the first major Australian visit to Qatar since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. 

During the visit, Harrison will be joined by members of the Aussie Farmers Mutual. The visit will also be held ahead of a major Australian mission later this year.

Discussions during the visit will focus on global food security and energy.

Harrison said: “Having lived, and worked, in both nations it is very exciting to see the relationship being reenergised in these very testing times globally. The bilateral relationship is an outward and optimistic partnership with much to offer the world and AQBC looks forward to continuing to play its part in that development”.  

The AQBC is the only bilateral organisation based in Australia solely devoted to the advancement of Qatar and Australia relations for over 50 years.
