Qatar’s Emir Sheikh Tamim Bin Hamad Al-Thani will visit India on February 17-18, marking his first trip in nearly a decade, with energy cooperation and West Asian geopolitics high on the agenda.
At PM Narendra Modi’s invitation, the Emir will arrive with a high-level delegation, including ministers and business leaders, to strengthen India-Qatar ties across trade, investment, and technology, the MEA announced.
Qatar remains India’s largest LNG supplier, and the visit follows Modi’s February 2024 trip to Doha after the release of eight Indian Navy personnel detained in Qatar. India’s 8.4 lakh-strong expatriate community in Qatar continues to play a vital role in the country’s development.
