On 19 June 2007, Emir of the State of Qatar, issued Emiri Decree No. 37, setting forth the creation of one of the world's largest port developments.

Strategically located south of Doha, the USD 7.4 Billion mega port project, which includes a new port, a new base for the Qatar Emiri Naval Forces and the Qatar Economic Zone 3, will span a 26.5 square kilometer area.

String of Pearls expands.... ;)

Is Chinese paying well for you for your Job, seems to me they are paying well.

But Qatar is not located any where near India. When the string is snatched the pearls will fall off and then there will be nobody to take care of them. They have to go down:tup:

:omghaha::omghaha: First go and see where is Qatar......

"string of pearls" isnt always directly related to india, string of pearls, when refering to the chinese, means a set of strategic ports from which the PLAN can project power and safe guard its interests. of course it invokes fears of containment to india but chinese interest are far more complex and global than just india, the middle east for instance is very important to china, and qatar is a good location.

that said, this isnt a military project, its just a job for the Qatari government.

Qatar sits on the shipping route,that supplies most of Hindustani oil.
