The Qatar Fund for Development (QFFD) has signed a grant agreement with the Municipality of Tirana, the capital city of the Republic of Albania, to establish ‘Qatar Square.’ The agreement was signed by Acting Director General of QFFD, Sultan bin Ahmed Al Aseeri, and HE Mayor of Tirana Erion Veliaj, in the attendance of Ambassador of the State of Qatar in Tirana HE Jabor bin Ali Hussein Al Dosari.
To be built in the heart of the Albanian capital, the square will span an area of 23,700 square metres, with a cost of 11 million euros.
It will include several facilities and different spaces for celebrations, exhibitions, and events, along with various shops and gathering areas, in addition to a water purification system for the Lido River to sustain natural irrigation water for the surrounding park that will be constructed as part of the project. The project’s design will be inspired by the traditional Qatari weaving craft of Sadu and its patterns to promote the beauty of Qatari culture and enhance bilateral cultural exchange and cooperation.
