Kuwait’s Minister of State for Economic Affairs and Investment and Acting Minister of Commerce and Industry, Abdulaziz Al-Marzouq, stressed today, Sunday, the importance of focusing on the quality of investments and their economic and developmental impact.
This came during Minister Al-Marzouq’s participation in the ministerial roundtable titled “Investment for Development,” alongside the session “The Gulf: The Future of Investment,” organized by the General Secretariat of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) as part of the ninth Global Investment Forum, hosted by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) in the Qatari capital, Doha.
The discussions addressed ways to enhance sustainable investments, develop investment policies, and expand economic cooperation opportunities at both the regional and international levels.
Minister Al-Marzouq emphasized during his participation the importance of focusing on the quality of investments and their economic and developmental impact, which contributes to knowledge and technology transfer, increased productivity, development of national competencies, and strengthening the role of the private sector in achieving sustainable economic development.
He also underscored the importance of enhancing economic and investment integration among GCC member states, developing the business environment, and facilitating investment flows, thereby boosting the competitiveness of Gulf economies and consolidating the region’s position as an attractive hub for global investments.
On the sidelines of the forum, Minister Abdulaziz Al-Marzouq met with several participating ministers at the ninth Global Investment Forum, during which views were exchanged on topics of mutual interest.
Kuwait’s participation in this forum, which runs until the 27th of the current month, aligns with its commitment to strengthening its presence at international economic forums, exchanging expertise and experiences, and expanding investment partnership opportunities, thereby supporting efforts toward economic diversification and sustainable development.
