Chinese Ambassador visits Imperial Towers at The Pearl

A boat tour allowed the group to observe the construction progress of Imperial Towers, especially the development's Asia-themed Ruby Tower. This was H.E. the Ambassador's first visit to The Pearl.

The Chinese delegation visited the development as China has healthy business ties with Qatar and its investment projects. China and Qatar have enjoyed a mutually-beneficial and cooperative trade and investment relationship since the 1950s. This business relationship has recently begun to gather momentum across sectors such as energy, engineering projects and labor service, in addition to aggressive mutual investment in both countries' finance, real estate and petrochemicals fields.

H.E. Ambassador Xiaoyong said of the The Pearl and the Imperial Towers visit:

"It is exciting to see such a beautiful and ambitious project. China and Qatar enjoy a great partnership in real estate investment, tourism and culture, so it is encouraging to see the progress this development has made. Our two countries have an obligation to fully develop the potential bilateral ties that promote the best interests of our two countries and their people."

The Imperial Towers project on Viva Bahriya, the second phase of The Pearl Qatar, is a residential real estate project developed by Durat al Doha. Featuring 360-degree sea views, 166 apartments and two luxurious penthouses per tower, Imperial Towers is an ensemble of five towers inspired by the cultures of the world's five continents - Oceana, Asia, Europe, the Americas, and Africa - representing a continent for each tower.

Nadia Elarabi Schultz, Durat al Doha Senior Executive Manager, said of the tour: "We are delighted to have hosted His Excellency Ambassador Xiaoyong and his delegation to see the progress being made at Imperial Towers at Viva Bahriya. Qatar and China enjoy a heathy and cooperative real estate investment relationship and we hope this project will contribute to the development of these sectors in our two countries."
