In a move set to further strengthen the economic ties between China and Qatar, the Qatar Investment Promotion Agency (Invest Qatar) is preparing to visit Beijing. This visit comes on the heels of a successful year for Qatar, which, in 2024, attracted over $41 million in foreign direct investment (FDI) from China.
A Year of Significant Growth
The year 2024 marked a significant milestone for Qatar’s economic relationship with China. The Gulf nation successfully drew more than $41 million in Chinese FDI, focusing on pivotal sectors such as automotive, consumer electronics, commercial services, and information technology. This influx of investment has led to the creation of over 350 jobs, highlighting the mutual benefits of this burgeoning partnership.
Several leading Chinese companies have already established a strong foothold in Qatar, using the country as a regional strategic base. Notable names include Kingdee (金蝶), Hisense (海信), Linklogis (盈科), Orvibo (欧瑞博), Shenzhen Airlines (深圳航空), Midea Group (美的集团), and BYD (比亚迪). These companies are not only contributing to Qatar’s economic growth but also leveraging the country’s strategic location and business-friendly environment to expand their global footprint.
Qatar: A Strategic Investment Hub

These factors make it an ideal launchpad for companies aiming to globalize their operations.
