The newspaper editor in chief has written an article saying the economic relations remain the foundation of political strong relations among countries. Therefore building an economic relation with any country means it is a strong and lasting one and above the level of any political problems.
As we know our country has good political relation with the state of Qatar and under this strong relation the exchange of trade has witnessed lately a good development, especially in materials used in plastic industries. The Qabco Company managed to occupy the first place in the Yemeni market after it succeeded in removing Saudi and Kuwaiti similar companies that were present in the Yemeni market.
The Qatari company however and regretfully is seeking to stop its dealing with the Yemeni market for reasons not have been known yet. The company began to raise prices of the raw materials during the last months by 50% percent. When trying to detect the causes the newspaper found out that the Qatari company Qabco wants to stop its dealing with the Yemeni market and therefore resorts to this measure to force the Yemeni consumer turn to another source.
The editor in chief concludes his article by asking the Qatari ambassador to Yemen to take this remark seriously and to try to find out about the causes and to play a role for guaranteeing continuation of trade exchange between the two countries.
