Sheikh Khalifa bin Jassim bin Mohammed Al Thani, President of Qatar Chamber, considered that the law of regulating the partnership between the governmental and private sectors, issued by His Highness Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, the Emir of the country would enhance the participation of the private sector in major projects in the state, and support economic activity in general, and makes the private sector a true partner of the governmental sector in achieving the desired economic development.

He explained that the law meets the Chamber's ambition to expand the involvement of Qatari companies in implementing government projects, pointing out that the Chamber had an important role in laying the basic building blocks for the draft law of regulating the partnership between the two sectors.

Sheikh Khalifa emphasized that the partnership between the public and private sectors has now become a reality on the ground, thanks to the guidance of the wise leadership and its confidence in the Qatari private sector, and its emphasis on activating its role in economic development, and increasing its contribution to major projects in the future, as well as directing to prepare a law for partnership between the public and private sectors.

He noted the government's interest in supporting the partnership with the private sector, as several projects were recently launched by the technical committee in the ministerial group to stimulate the private sector, and included many sectors such as education, food security, and others.
