The Indian ambassador expressed his appreciation for the efforts of Katara to provide such a platform to showcase the exhibition to the Qataris and expatriates in the country.
Dr al-Sulaiti said Katara is always keen to hold such exhibitions to bridge the distance between the different cultures of the world.
