The meeting centered on broadening trade and investment relations between Qatar and Belgium, with discussions focusing on revitalizing the ABLCC to deepen economic ties and bolster commercial engagement with the European Union.
Al-Obaidli emphasized Qatar’s pivotal role as an energy hub and top investment destination for Europe, emphasizing the EU’s significance to Qatar, especially in technology and cross-border investment. He pointed out myriad partnership prospects between Qatari and Belgian enterprises across various sectors, underscoring that Qatar’s state-of-the-art infrastructure, investor-friendly climate, and strategic global connectivity underscore its standing as a regional business hub.
In his remarks, Dessoy noted that numerous prominent Qatari investments exist in Belgium, with ample room for further Qatari investments in Belgium and Europe at large. He encouraged business leaders to leverage Belgium’s strategic role within the European Union to foster deeper economic ties between the Arab world and the EU. Dessoy also advocated for intensifying trade delegations and bilateral business visits to uncover emerging joint ventures and investment prospects.
Hijazin disclosed that the ABLCC is organizing a substantial economic conference in Brussels next year, inviting the Qatar Chamber to attend as a guest of honor or strategic partner. This gesture aims to bolster economic and investment collaboration between Qatari and Belgian entities. Moreover, the Belgian delegation extended an invitation for the Qatar Chamber and Qatari firms to join European Hydrogen Week 2026 in Brussels, scheduled for October 26-30, 2026.
The conference will gather policymakers, industry leaders, investors, and experts to discuss opportunities and advancements in hydrogen, renewable energy, and green technologies, fostering partnerships and supporting the move towards a low-carbon economy.
