NEW DELHI – Minister of State for Finance Pankaj Chaudhary and Minister of State for Foreign Trade of the State of Qatar Ahmad bin Mohammed Al-Sayed Thursday held bilateral engagement aimed at opening new avenues for trade, investment, and strategic cooperation between the two countries. "Special emphasis was laid on strengthening bilateral economic ties, expanding business opportunities, and promoting investments in emerging sectors," Chaudhary said in a post on X, formerly Twitter.
"The active participation of the Qatari delegation and the depth of dialogue clearly demonstrated a strong commitment from both nations to deepen their partnership," he said. "This meeting not only reflects mutual trust but also marks a significant milestone towards further strengthening the India-Qatar economic relationship in the years to come," he added.
India exported goods worth $1.68 billion to Qatar in 2024-25 (Apr-Mar) and imported goods worth $12.46 billion. In February, the two countries agreed on the need to explore strategies for enhanced and diversified trade between the two countries and address priority market access issues related to trade in goods and services.
