Doha: Minister of Commerce and Industry H E Ali bin Ahmed Al Kuwari and the Ambassador of India to the State of Qatar, P. Kumaran, inaugurated the India Pavilion at the 16th Edition of Project Qatar Exhibition held at Doha Exhibition & Convention Center (DECC) on April 29.
Later, the Indian Ambassador took a tour of the Indian pavilion and was briefed by the exhibitors about their world-class products displayed at the Exhibition.
The Indian Pavilion comprised of 33 companies and was led by Federation of Indian Export Organizations (FIEO), an apex trade promotion body set up by the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, the Government of India, to promote trade, commerce and investments between India and other countries.
India’s participation in the current edition of Project Qatar has doubled in comparison to its participation in the previous edition, which is a testament to the efforts made by the Indian exporters and the Embassy.
It is pertinent to mention that India-Qatar economic and commercial engagement has been steadily growing in multiple sectors.
The Indian exports to Qatar have increased by 13 percent during 2018-19 (April-February) over the corresponding previous year.
The presence of Indian products in Qatari market is likely to go up in near future due to rapid boom in the construction sector in Qatar.
