Doha, Qatar - A delegation from Qatar Finance Centre (QFC) has wrapped up a trip to Beijing and Hong Kong, marking a significant step in deepening the financial ties between Qatar and China. Guided by Chief Executive Officer Mansoor Rashid Al-Khater, the group engaged in numerous meetings with business leaders and investors, participated in the 2026 Belt and Road Summit, and signed new agreements designed to bolster financial and business collaborations between Qatar and Asia.
The Belt and Road Summit in Hong Kong convened government and business representatives to discuss global cooperation and identify business opportunities. During a segment focused on emerging markets within and beyond the Belt and Road, Al-Khater detailed the sectors driving its next phase, the opportunities they present for the Middle East, and the financial tools necessary to foster sustainable development.
Al-Khater emphasized that the next stage of connectivity is transcending traditional physical infrastructure to include green energy, artificial intelligence, and digital infrastructure. These advances are unlocking fresh investment prospects and cross-border business possibilities. He identified four key areas to transform this connectivity into enduring economic value: assessing the financial and commercial feasibility of projects, developing supporting ecosystems, attracting new capital sources, particularly the expanding scope of Islamic finance, and cultivating the skills and expertise essential for resilience and sustained growth.
Central to this strategy, Al-Khater stressed digital infrastructure's pivotal role, which extends beyond telecommunications to encompass data infrastructure, digital financial systems, smart cities, and government platforms. These digital advancements are becoming increasingly vital for facilitating trade, investment, and economic expansion.
