Two perspectives. One strong UK–Qatar business relationship.
At the BCCQ Celebration Evening this Thursday, September 17 we are delighted to be welcoming two distinguished speakers whose roles reflect two important sides of the relationship we are building as a Chamber.
Duncan Hill OBE
Deputy Ambassador, British Embassy Doha
Duncan brings the perspective of the UK’s diplomatic mission in Qatar, supporting the Ambassador in strengthening the UK–Qatar relationship and advancing UK interests across political, economic, trade and wider areas of cooperation.
Aalia Al-Khater
Investment Development Officer, Invest Qatar
Aalia represents Qatar’s investment ecosystem and will share perspectives from Invest Qatar, where she supports initiatives that strengthen engagement with investors and partners and promote Qatar as a leading investment destination.
Bringing these perspectives together is particularly meaningful for BCCQ.
As a Chamber, our role sits at the intersection of British business, the UK diplomatic network and Qatar’s wider business and investment ecosystem. Our programme is designed to create opportunities for our members to understand the market, engage with the institutions shaping it and identify opportunities to grow.
Our relationship with Invest Qatar is an important part of that work, building on the research and dialogue undertaken earlier this year and looking ahead to how we can continue that conversation as the Qatar and wider GCC business environment evolves.
We are therefore especially pleased to have both Duncan and Aalia joining us for this evening, representing two perspectives that are highly relevant to the businesses we serve.
