At the 12th session of the Multi-Year Expert Meeting on Investment, Innovation and Entrepreneurship for Productive Capacity-Building and Sustainable Development, Qatar showcased its commitment to global investment. The event took place on May 4–5 at the Palais des Nations in Geneva, organized by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development.
Representing Qatar was HE Dr. Hind Abdulrahman Al Muftah, Permanent Representative of the State of Qatar to the United Nations Office in Geneva.
In her speech, she detailed the upcoming UNCTAD World Investment Forum 2026, reaffirming Qatar's dedication to collaborating with UNCTAD for the conference scheduled in Doha from October 25 to 27, under the theme “Investing in the Future.”
Dr. Al Muftah noted that Qatar is diligently preparing for the forum despite the surrounding regional difficulties, with a focus on crucial subjects including global value chains, digital economy, green transformation, and peace initiatives.
She addressed the recent regional tensions affecting crucial infrastructure and gas production, pointing out how these factor into vulnerabilities within global supply chains, which subsequently impact the economic stability of developing countries.
Dr. Al Muftah underscored the necessity of safeguarding global economic infrastructure and securing trade routes for ongoing development and economic stability worldwide.
She concluded by stating Qatar's commitment to being a regional hub, enhancing energy security while investing in AI infrastructure, which will propel innovation and solidify Qatar's role in global market stability.
