A ‘Vibrant Gujarat’ delegation led by B B. Swain, vice chairman and managing director of the Gujarat Industrial Development Corporation (GIDC) will be on a three-day visit of Qatar from tomorrow. |
The delegation is visiting to promote the 7th Gujarat Global Summit scheduled to be held in Gandhinagar, Gujarat from January 11 to 13. The visit is co-ordinated by the Indian embassy in Doha along with the GIDC and Confederation of the Indian Industry (CII), the national partner for the summit.
The ‘Vibrant Gujarat’ Summit, initiated by Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi, who as Chief Minister of Gujarat for more than 14 years (1999 to 2013), turned the western Indian state into one of the fastest growing states, has evolved as a major global business and investment event.
The delegation would meet and interact with Qatari businessmen and investors, as also with important state owned business and investment entities in Qatar.
Besides disseminating salient information related to investment opportunities in Gujarat and ‘Vibrant Gujarat’ Global Summit 2015, the delegation will discuss ways to forge new collaboration in various sectors, especially oil and gas, petrochemicals, infrastructure and construction, cement, chemicals and fertilisers, textiles, gems and jewellery and food processing.
The programme of the visiting delegation includes a roundtable business meeting at the Qatar Chamber and a road show to promote ‘Vibrant Gujarat’ 2015 Summit.
The visit is yet another demonstration of the keenness of India and Qatar to further enhance trade, investments and other business collaborations between the two sides, according to the embassy statement.
The embassy has appreciated the support of the Government of Qatar, Qatar Chamber, Doha Bank, Indian Business and Professionals Network and other partners in arranging substantive business interactions for the visiting business mission.
