Doha: Qatar Foundation (QF) recently hosted Freddy Ehlers, Ecuador’s Minister of Tourism. He and his delegation were introduced to many educational initiatives, community development plans and scientific research programmes undertaken by QF. They were also briefed on QF’s sustainability initiatives and climate action solutions. After the presentation, they were shown an impressive 3D scale model of current buildings and future construction projects, at Qatar Foundation. 

“Qatar and Ecuador are trying to discover projects of mutual interest and form a close partnership. Like Qatar Foundation, we have a plan to build a university city in Ecuador. This is partly why we want to speak with Qatar Foundation representatives about the experience they have had thus far,” Ehlers said.

“This new city will be for academics and researchers to gather in one place and we really hope that we can work with Qatar Foundation in this endeavour, as our aims are similar,” he added. the peninsula
