The recent legislation and economic laws issued by Qatar in recent years helped in encouraging entrepreneurship and stimulating local and international investments, promoting investment opportunities and conducting studies for industrial projects.
This statement was made by Sheikh Dr Thani bin Ali Al Thani, Board Member for International Relations of the Qatar International Centre for Conciliation and Arbitration (QICCA).
Sheikh Al Thani was speaking at the 16th edition of the Dublin Forum for the Settlement of International Commercial Disputes, which was held via video conference recently, organised by the British Royal Institute of Certified Arbitrators.
Sheikh Al Thani said that the country, through QICCA under Qatar Chamber, is keen to spread the culture of arbitration and expand the use of arbitration as an alternative means for resolving commercial disputes. The centre already held a series of international events and conferences and also organised a number of seminars specialized in researching alternative means of resolving disputes.
The annual forum is held to discuss issues related to international commercial arbitration, dispute settlement, mediation, etc, and a large group of speakers and experts from different countries of the world participate in it.
International and regional issues affecting the practice of international arbitration and dispute resolution were reviewed during the discussions.
