Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi confirms Qatar visit in June
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi will go on an official visit to Qatar on June 4-5 at the invitation of HH the Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, it was announced on Friday.
This is the first prime ministerial visit from India to Qatar in eight years since the visit of then prime minister Manmohan Singh to Doha in 2008.
‘There has been regular exchange of high-level bilateral visits in the recent past,’ external affairs ministry spokesperson Vikas Swarup said in his weekly media briefing here.
‘HH the Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani had visited India in March 2015. Previously, the then Emir of Qatar, HH the Emir Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani had visited India in 1999, 2005 and 2012,’ he said.
India has had historical and close relations with Qatar and these are marked by mutually beneficial commercial exchanges and extensive people-to-people contacts.
‘Qatar is an important trading partner for us in the Gulf region with bilateral trade in 2014-15 exceeding $15bn,’ Swarup said.
‘It is our largest supplier of LNG requirements, accounting for 65% of our total imports in 2015-16. It was also one of our key sources of crude oil.’
At 630,000, Indians form the largest expatriate community in Qatar.
‘Their positive contribution in the progress and development of their host country is well recognised,’ the spokesperson said.
He added that during the visit, the prime minister and the Emir of Qatar will hold discussions on bilateral, regional and multilateral issues of mutual interest.

Ata, Low salary , short staff & heavy work load may the reason behind the issue you high lighted ...........
Inhope he will meet the expatriates like he does in other countries
Rizks emporium is the official caterer; but modi will not have a chance to know the man behind the scenes sadly...
Well Come to Qatar
I wonder if he'll visit Rizks' Emporium ?
Sort out the embassy while you're here buddy; don't just shake hands, sign deals, sample the local food and head back... We're the biggest demographic and yet have the s***tiest embassy...
I'm sure his focus will be on partnerships and more Indian expats coming to Qatar
hopes he promotes his country here and not religion as he has done on Dubai trip.
Looking forward to the PM's visit
It will surely be burnol moment for some.
We will be at the airport to welcome him - joys
