He called on Qatari businessmen to study available opportunities and build long-term partnerships.
A partnership beyond economics

She stressed that investing in Syria today is an investment in the Syrian people and the country’s future, adding that the new partnership will serve as an economic and investment bridge between the two countries and contribute to launching productive and sustainable projects on professional and transparent foundations.
Confidence in Syria’s investment future
Sheikh Nayef bin Eid Al Thani, Chairman of Tamim Holding Group, said the partnership launch reflects confidence in Syria’s investment future and translates it into a long-term process. He noted that Syria possesses promising investment potential in real estate, industry, agriculture, energy and technology.
He said the partnership will enable the participation of local companies and suppliers and strengthen the employment of Syrian expertise, supporting the national economy and creating job opportunities.
The launch of the partnership follows a series of high-level engagements between Syria and Qatar aimed at deepening economic ties. In May 2026, Qatar’s Minister of State for Foreign Trade met with Syrian officials in Geneva to discuss enhancing economic and investment cooperation.
