Qatar economy ‘more accessible’ to world post-illegal blockade, says Sheikh Ahmed

Qatar economy ‘more accessible’ to world post-illegal blockade, says Sheikh Ahmed:

"The illegal blockade on Qatar since June 2017 has presented the country with an opportunity to make its economy “more accessible to the world, and bolster its trade relations,” particularly with the US, said HE the Minister of Economy and Commerce Sheikh Ahmed bin Jassim bin Mohamed al-Thani.
“The illegal blockade was with the aim of undermining Qatar’s position as an economically independent and sovereign state, but we have emerged stronger and more independent than ever before,” Sheikh Ahmed said in his address to a reception organised by the US Chamber of Commerce in co-operation with the Qatar-US Business Council and the Embassy of Qatar in Washington on Tuesday.
Qatar, he said, has successfully established direct commercial routes with a number of strategic hubs around the world, diverting trade to its major trading partners."
