During the meeting, they discussed the prospects of co-operation in many fields and highlighted the investment incentives provided by Qatar as well as the initiatives launched by the country to support the private sector and attract foreign investments.
Antonacci presented the investment opportunities in the State of Florida and ways to establish investment partnerships across different fields.
