Doha, March 15 (QNA) - HE Sheikh Khalifa bin Jassim Al-Thani, Chairman of Qatar Chamber and the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) Qatar and Executive Board Member of ICC International Secretariat, on Wednesday praised the Law No. 2 of 2017 on Arbitration in Civil and Commercial Matters, describing it as an 'important reference' to resolve trade disputes that can arise between companies in Qatar which would enhance the successful investment climate of Qatar. Among the main roles that ICC Qatar is keen to play are raising awareness of the new Qatari laws and legislation on the economic and commercial activity in Qatar, HE Sheikh Khalifa bin Jassim Al-Thani said in a press release published following the panel discussion held at Qatar Chamber headquarters yesterday on the new Arbitration Law.

Such targets also intersect with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals, he went on saying. (QNA)
