Qatar to Make Major Investments in Canada

 

Carney says Qatar will make 'significant' investments in Canada's major projects.

Prime Minister Mark Carney announced that Qatar is preparing to make significant investments in several of Canada’s major national projects, marking a notable deepening of economic ties between the two countries.

Speaking during his visit to Doha, Carney described the agreement as a strategic partnership that will help accelerate infrastructure development, support energy-sector growth, and create new employment opportunities across Canada. The investment is expected to target large-scale, long-term projects that align with Canada’s national priorities.

Carney framed the partnership as part of Canada’s broader effort to diversify its global economic relationships and attract stable, long‑term investment from international partners.
