The National U.S. – Arab Chamber of Commerce (NUSACC) hosted a welcome luncheon this week for H.E. Mohammed Jaham Al Kuwari, Qatar’s Ambassador to the United States. Upwards of 200 private sector and government leaders attended the event, held at the Ritz Carlton Hotel, to introduce the new ambassador to the U.S. business community. Ambassador Al Kuwari, who arrived in Washington after serving for a decade as Qatar’s Ambassador to France, presented his credentials to President Barack Obama on March 10, 2014.

“Our Chamber has a rich history of introducing new Arab ambassadors to the American business community, and we were pleased to continue that tradition,” said David Hamod, President & CEO of NUSACC. “Ambassador Al Kuwari has been a good friend of the United States for more than three decades, and I’m confident that he will be very well received by U.S. business and the American people.”

In his remarks, Ambassador Al Kuwari noted, “It is a privilege to be able to say that Qatar’s existing commercial, financial, and economic relations with the United States have been constant, productive and mutually enforcing. We believe that investment and shared stakes in each other’s economies provide a strong foundation on which to further develop the quality and scope of our relationship.”
