PM Modi himself broke all the protocols with hot Joshi To welcome them Indira Gandhi arrived at the International Airport. As soon as the rich of Qatar saw him, he smiled and hugged him. Aspects of bilateral relations will be discussed with Qatar’s rich PM Modi, who arrived on a state visit to India on 17 and 18 February. PM Modi embraced his Qatar ‘brother’. At the same time, the PM said that his brother, Qatar’s rich His Majesty Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani went to the airport to welcome him.
The manner in which the Prime Minister has welcomed him is special in itself because India has been continuously moving towards strengthening and intensifying relations with Arab countries for some time. Recently, when Prime Minister Kuwait went to Kuwait, very beautiful pictures came out from there. Seeing these pictures, there are many countries in the world, whose heart is shocking. Foreign Minister S Jaishankar was also present at the airport along with PM Modi. Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) spokesman Randhir Jaiswal called the visit a special gesture for a special friend.
Why Qatar’s visit to India is important
Al-Thani’s visit to India is very important. Qatar-India relations have been relatively stable for decades. There has been a lot of improvement in recent times. It is in line with India’s policy to increase connectivity with an extended West Asian neighborhood and secure its energy security requirements. Today there is a trade of about $ 20 billion between the two countries. Qatar’s major exports to India include liquefied natural gas (LNG) and liquefied pipe gas (LPG), chemicals, petrochemicals, plastic and aluminum. In fact, Qatar is the largest supplier of LNG to India, in 2022-2023, it had more than 48 percent of India’s LNG imports. Similarly, West Asian country is also the largest LPG supplier in India, which is 29 percent of India’s total LPG imports.
