He further affirmed that the Qatari market is receptive to foreign investment across various sectors, underscoring the significance of leveraging Portuguese expertise and technology through joint ventures with Qatari partners to establish projects and investments in Qatar. Frasquilho, in turn, stated that Portuguese investors are keen on identifying investment opportunities in Qatar, particularly in areas such as fintech, services, retail, and other sectors.

This council's objective would be to enhance trade and investment relations, broaden private-sector cooperation, and uncover opportunities to forge partnerships and joint ventures.",
