Xinhua, Doha :
A delegation of Qatari businessmen will visit Kuwait to boost bilateral trade ties, Qatar News Agency reported Sunday.
A statement of Qatar Chamber of Commerce and Industry (QCCI) said that a group of 55 Qatari businessmen led by Sheikh Khalifa bin Jassem bin Mohammed Al-Thani, the QCCI chairman, will travel to Kuwait on Tuesday.
The two-day visit will aim to discuss means of boosting trade relations, as well as establishing a forum for business in the two countries, the statement said.
“This visit reflects the deep and robust relations between both countries. It aims to review and enhance cooperation ties among businessmen,” Al-Thani said.
Al-Thani also praised Kuwait’s leading role in resolving the latest Gulf Cooperation Council crisis, in addition to supplying the Qatari market with products and commodities since the beginning of the embargo.
On June 5 last year, the quartet of Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates and Egypt severed ties with Qatar, accusing it of backing extremism and fostering links with their Shiite rival Iran. Doha, however, vehemently denies the claims.
