(MENAFN- Gulf Times) The US-Qatar Business Council (USQBC), in collaboration with the US Department of Commerce's International Trade Administration (ITA), successfully hosted Business Circles: SelectUSA 2025 Edition - Move & Meet, Learn & Lead in Doha.
Held at the Mondrian Doha, the programme brought together business leaders, professionals, and specialists from the U.S. Commercial Service for dynamic roundtable sessions focused on harnessing opportunities in the US market through the SelectUSA Investment Summit 2025.

The event featured remarks by USQBC Doha Managing Director Sheikha Mayes bint Hamad al-Thani, who emphasised the importance of advancing U.S.-Qatar trade and investment, stating:“The United States represents the world's largest consumer market... Meanwhile, Qatar's business landscape is expanding rapidly through entrepreneurship, world-class infrastructure, and the government's drive to diversify the economy and promote the private sector. Now is the perfect moment for companies in Qatar to explore cross-border value creation in the US.”
Janelle Weyek, Commercial Counselor at the US Embassy Doha, provided welcoming remarks, celebrating the more than 50 years of strong ties between Qatar and the United States, and stressing the importance of continuing to grow the commercial and investment relationship.
