Cyprus’ Minister of Energy, Trade and Industry Giorgos Papanastasiou has invited Qatari investors to explore opportunities across a broad range of sectors in Cyprus.
According to the Qatar Chamber, Papanastasiou held talks with its second vice chairman, Rashid bin Hamad Al-Athba, in a visit to Doha aimed at strengthening bilateral economic and trade ties.
Discussions centered on enhancing bilateral cooperation and highlighting the investment potential in both economies. Emphasis was placed on developing partnerships between Cypriot and Qatari companies through joint ventures and collaborative projects.
Al-Athba praised the long-standing Qatari-Cypriot relations and reaffirmed the chamber’s readiness to support deeper engagement between the two nations’ business communities. He noted Qatar’s competitive investment environment, underpinned by incentives and regulatory advantages, and welcomed the growing interest among Qatari investors in Cyprus.
Papanastasiou proposed the formation of a joint technical committee to further facilitate business cooperation, building on the existing memorandum of understanding signed between the two countries’ chambers of commerce.
