How ties with Qatar help India’s influence in Middle East, check rise of radical Islam | Point Blank

Hindustan Times  

In the complicated world of Middle-East politics, where radical Islam jostles for space with a strong Shia-Sunni current, Qatar is often described by the West and Israel as the arsonist and firefighter of the volatile region. It was in recognition of Qatar’s growing position in West Asia and the fair treatment of the large Indian diaspora in the Gulf country that Prime Minister Narendra Modi along with External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar broke protocol and went to receive Sheikh Tamim and his entourage at the IGI airport when the Qatar Emir arrived for a two-day visit to Delhi on February 16-18. While the bilateral visit of Sheikh Tamim was a success, the close relations between leaders of Qatar and India also sent strong signals to West Asian powers as well as Turkey and Pakistan. The visit of Sheikh Tamim also hit high notes in New Delhi with Qatar Investment Authority, the multi-billion dollar sovereign fund, opening offices in New Delhi and Doha looking towards increasing foreign direct investment in India in different sectors including infrastructure, technology, manufacturing, food security, logistics and hospitality. The visit of Sheikh Tamim to India is another feather in the cap of Prime Minister Narendra Modi under whose leadership India’s relationship with the Gulf region has transformed in the past 11 years.
