DOHA: Qatar Chamber (QC), as part of its efforts to provide impetus to small and medium-sized businesses, is set to hold a conference annually to bring the best SMEs from around the world to help local industries diversify, said QC’s Director General Remy Rowhani.
QC, the representative body of the private sector, and the host of the upcoming ICC WCF 8th World Chambers Congress and Exhibition, is also committed to promoting “free trade” and utilising the “untapped reservoir of energy and power latent in women” by empowering their status and increasing their role in the process of nation-building.
“I am a strong believer of a philosophy that there are two pillars on which the chamber is based on. One is ‘free-trade’ which is considered as an engine of economic growth to move an economy to prosperity, and the other is the ‘empowerment of women’. We at QC are taking these two pillars as a source of encouragement,” he said in an exclusive interview to The Peninsula yesterday.
Highlighting the role of women in transforming a country into a well-developed society, he added: “I believe that women are the largest ever reservoir of human capability that has not been taped. A society that uses this energy and power latent in women can empower them. It will not only give women their rights, privileges and opportunities, it will also help the economy to progress by leaps and bounds.”
