The countries have set up six joint committees to identify areas to launch joint venture projects in. One of the panels relates to the banking sector, entrusted with the task of conducting feasibility study for the proposed joint venture bank that would have operations in both countries.
The Qatari delegation also urged Saudi Arabia to liberalize the export of construction materials, saying that Qatar was a huge market for Saudi building materials, and the curbs imposed exports should be eased.
