Doha: Qatar's ambassador to the United States Mohammed bin Jaham Al Kuwari said Qatar's investments in US are expected to reach $35 billion over the next five years.
Qatar is a trading partner of the United States since the signing of the Trade and Investment Framework Agreement in 2004.
The trade volume between the two countries has risen steadily since 2004 to reach $6.9 billion in 2015.
This was revealed in a speech by Al-Kuwari when he took part along with Senator Joe Manchin, member of Armed Services Committee at the US Senate, in a reception ceremony organised by Discover the Real West Virginia Foundation on the sidelines of the West Virginia Chamber Annual Meeting and Business Summit.
Al Kuwari reviewed potential economic opportunities between the State of Qatar and the State of West Virginia in the fields of energy sectors, noting that there is a strategic dialogue between Qatar and the United States in economic, commercial, educational, military and security fields.
Qatar has natural resources and abundant opportunities for investment in human development and infrastructure as part of Qatar National Vision (QNV) 2030 which aims to transform Qatar to a knowledge-based economy, he stressed.
