Historically, Mexico and Qatar have always shared close strategic and economic ties and this move will serve to enhance and develop this important relationship." He continued: "This is yet further proof of our openness and the attractiveness of the QFC platform to those looking to expand and tap into Qatar's large-scale infrastructure projects."
