MIDDLE EAST WAR DRIVES QATARI ROYAL INVESTMENT FUND TO SEEK INVESTMENTS IN VIETNAM

Following the signing ceremony of the strategic partnership between M&A Partners and Al Masdar Investment W.L.L, the Qatari Royal Investment Fund stands as an institution of powerful financial capacity and modern governance. In the face of the escalating conflict in the Middle East, and in particular the direct involvement of the Qatari armed forces in the fighting, the Fund is actively turning toward investment abroad, giving priority to countries with stable political environments such as Vietnam.

H.E. Tran Duc Hung, former Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Vietnam to Qatar and Senior Advisor to M&A PARTNERS, stated:

  • Al Masdar Investment W.L.L is a Qatari Royal Investment Fund with substantial financial resources and well-structured governance, currently focusing its investments in Vietnam on renewable energy, healthcare, information technology, infrastructure, and other sectors.
  • When I first returned to Vietnam, I was deeply honored and proud to join M&A PARTNERS, a team of pioneers driven by the aspiration to turn Vietnam's mergers and acquisitions market into a professional, fair, and transparent arena, in keeping with the long-held wish of Mr. Luu Quang Vu, Founder and Chairman of M&A PARTNERS.
  • I believe that the cooperation of Al MASDAR with M&A PARTNERS and M&A VIETNAM will deliver breakthroughs in the development of a number of Vietnamese enterprises, with the Qatari Royal Investment Fund at their side in the period ahead, especially at a moment when the war in the Middle East is as tense as it is today.

M&A PARTNERS JOINS HANDS WITH THE QATARI ROYAL INVESTMENT FUND, PAVING THE WAY FOR A WAVE OF INVESTMENT CAPITAL FROM THE MIDDLE EAST INTO VIETNAM

Al Masdar Investment W.L.L, a fund backed by the Qatari Royal Family, has chosen Vietnam as a strategic destination in its plan to expand investment into the Far East and East Asia, focusing on renewable energy, healthcare, information technology, infrastructure, and other sectors. The Fund brings with it not only capital flows but also a long-term investment philosophy based on equity ownership and sustainable business development rather than short-term financial investing.

Dr. Henrik, General Director of Al Masdar, shared: "Upon setting foot in Vietnam, we chose M&A Partners as our strategic partner, an organization with a long-term vision and substantial resources within the M&A Vietnam ecosystem."
