Qatari Diar has signed a preliminary agreement to develop 42 residential units for the US embassy staff in the Tajik capital, Dushanbe.
Under the agreement, Qatari Diar Company is to prepare plans and engineering designs for the residential units. The development and construction agreement is expected to be concluded later on a lease to own basis, where the US embassy will lease these units for five years and then transfer ownership to them.
From the Qatari side, the signing ceremony was attended by Qatar's ambassador to Tajikistan Ibrahim bin Mohamed al-Abdullah and Qatari Diar's Chief Project Delivery Officer for Asia and Africa Dr Abdulla Yaqoub al-Sayed. From the US side, the ceremony was attended by US ambassador to Tajikistan John Mark Pommersheim and several members of the US government involved in the project.
CEO of Qatari Diar Eng Abdullah bin Hamad al-Attiyah said the signing of the agreement is an extension of the success of the Dushanbe project in the Tajik capital. He thanked the US for selecting Qatar Diar and Diar Dushanbe to develop the embassy staff quarters, "which confirms the comparative advantage of the project and the status of the company as a US accredited partner."
The US ambassador said he is delighted to start the first steps of the project. He also said he was excited to work with Qatari Diar, which will provide the embassy staff with accommodation of international standards and high quality.
Several US government representatives also expressed their desire to work with Qatari Diar as a strategic partner in other countries.
