The response from the Qatari side was equally promising, with Executive Director Al-Thani expressing profound interest on behalf of Qatari businessmen. They not only welcomed the proposal for a business forum but also conveyed their readiness to actively support and facilitate its realization.
The Memorandum itself delineates the framework for collaboration, outlining key areas of focus. The agreement encompasses mutual efforts in promoting investment and export potential, offering preferential conditions for collaboration, and facilitating the exchange of information concerning companies operating in both nations.
This MoU marks not just a formal agreement but a commitment to a future marked by strengthened economic collaboration, exemplifying the shared vision of Kyrgyzstan and Qatar for a prosperous and mutually beneficial partnership.
