Indian ambassador-designate to Qatar Sanjiv Arora has called on Indian entrepreneurs to avail of the existing and emerging opportunities in a vibrant economy like Qatar in the coming years.
The envoy said this while informing a group of journalists on the proposed two-day visit of a Federation of Indian Chamber and Commerce (Ficci) delegation, being co-ordinated by the Indian embassy in association with the Qatar Chamber and Indian Business and Professional Network (IBPN).
While hailing the efforts being made by Indian businesses to give a push to the products and services from India in the country, Arora said the favourable environs prevailing in the country should be utilised to the hilt by Indian companies in future.
The IBPN’s initiatives, especially in the last one year, to boost trade between the two countries came in for praise from the diplomat. He recalled that it is admirable on its part to play host to a large trade team of 16 leading business groups from India in less than a year.
At the meeting it was announced that a Ficci team, consisting of representatives of the Indian trade and industry will be in Doha on September 8 and 9.
It is led by Hitesh Bhuta, CEO of CGC Infotech Ltd, a major IT company. The team includes members representing sectors like agricultural products, healthcare, education and training, infrastructure development, engineering, real estate and construction, transport, chemicals and petrochemicals, information technology, financial services and commodities.
The team will have interaction with local firms with a view to develop and expand business in various sectors. Members will be available for one-to-one meetings at Hotel Radisson Blu between 10.30am and 12.30pm and later between 4pm and 6.30 pm.
Besides ICBF president Azeem Abbas, First secretary (Commercial) of the Indian embassy P S Sasi Kumar and Second secretary Suman Sharma were also present at the briefing.
