India, Qatar sign seven agreements to strengthen ties
103
DUBAI: Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi paid his first official visit to gas-rich Qatar where he met the Gulf country's leaders on Sunday to discuss economic ties.
Modi and Qatar's ruler, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, who visited India in March 2015, signed seven agreements to strengthen ties, according to the official Twitter account of India's Foreign Ministry spokesman, Vikas Swarup.
Modi also met Qatari businessmen and encouraged them to invest more in India, calling it "a land of opportunity".
Qatar is one of the world's largest suppliers of liquefied natural gas. Qatari media says it supplies India with more than 85 per cent of its gas needs.
The Indian Embassy says bilateral trade reached $15.7 billion in 2014- 2015, though just around $1bn of that constituted Indian exports to Qatar. Since 2010, India has been purchasing 7.5 million tons of LNG every year from Qatar.
The Qatar Investment Authority has several large-scale investments in India, including a more than $1bn stake in telecommunications company Bharati Airtel.
Qatar Airways has expressed interest in expanding its routes to India and in buying a stake in budget airline IndiGo.
Modi arrived on Saturday and met with Indian labourers that evening, telling them he is aware of the conditions they face in Qatar. Modi, who is active on Twitter, posted photos of himself dining and chatting with the workers.
"If you have some issues on changing some rules and regulations, I will work with you all to bring about these changes," Modi told the workers.
There are more than a half-million Indians living in Qatar, many working lower paying construction jobs and building stadiums that will host the 2022 World Cup. Foreigners account for roughly 90pc of the 2.5m people living in Qatar.
An Amnesty International report this year found that migrant labourers face abuse that in some cases amounts to forced labour.
The report said workers reported living in squalid conditions, salary payments being withheld for months and having their passports confiscated by sponsoring employees.

What proactive foreign policy. Modi isn't content with signing MoUs. He's properly following up to materialise the agreements. And Indian democracy/political system has matured like anything. Thesr're not short term policy achievements. Which only incumbents can cash in coming elections. This government has reaped the rewards of previous policy decisions. And it's successors would reap rewards of incumbents. But ultimate beneficiary is none other then Indian nation.
Unlike Pakistan, where governments undertake short term/populist projects. Like the metro, billion tree tsunami. With focus on completion during its term. So that it pays political dividends in upcoming elections.
Lessons! Any takers?

If religions and languages were the reasons behind friendships, the world will be so peaceful as most neighbors will never fight. The irony is, it's the economy which is the driving force.

Wake up please and I am addressing to both President Mamnoon and PM Nawaz simply because India is extending its influence around us and those who should be on our side are now more with India than Pakistan. I corroborate my statement quote Afghanistan + Iran + Qatar where Modi has very rightly struck many deals and India will prosper in due course of time whereas I have my doubts if Pakistan has edge over India in these three countries. Incidentally, excuse me, instead of countering Modi efforts, brother of PM Shahbaz is buying new plane for official use and irony is Finance Minister Ishaq Dar who is brother-in-law of PM (if I am not mistaken) is not only silent but will approve buying the plane. Does anyone agree with me? PM Nawaz has done some good work for the country and I pen that he must double up his efforts to counter Modi efforts when he resumes after open heart surgery, aameen.

Hi all,
I read some comments here where some of you said its not good for Pakistan that India is making good relations with Gulf etc. Fact is India is fastest growing economy the world & as a leader its quite obvious to make good strategic agreements n partnership with every Possible Nation so Gulf plays a vital role to Make India grow bigger. So there is no negative factor in this kind of Strategic ties.
Infact just think what will happen if two Nations India-Pakistan will have strong strategic ties with each other. India-Pakistan-Afghanistan-Iran& Middle East can Lead the World if all came together, currently everyone is divided. Remember West strategy is to " Divide & Rule" . PM MODI is just bending that strategy.

@Iqbal Hadi Zaidi - Honourable diplomat sir; one can understand your frustrations regarding Pakistan not growing the same way like India but you are asking your PM to wake up and compete with India & not lose edge with the 3 countries compared to India which makes it appear that whatever PM Modi s doing is to compete with Pakistan. Sir please appreciate the fact that what Modiji is doing is purely in his own country's interests & not to slight any country as he is going around the globe and signing agreements/contracts thereby increasing the trade with almost all countries . Modiji understands that India's growth is incumbent upon meeting its growing energy needs & as the article says; Qatar supplies 85 % of LNG to India. To ensure that Qatar continue to provide India uninterrupted LNG in future, he is inviting Qatari businessmen to invest in India and thereby increase their stakes in India. Mutual benefit and trade is never one sided. Best Luck to Pakistan also for growth.

OIC countries do not view India the way some or few people like you view it though I must add that majority of Pakistanis will not subscribe to your views. It is a universal rule that "Money or Capital will flow naturally to the best possible havens or best return on investment locations in the world"just as water will have a tendency to flow faster from higher level to lower level than on even surface or from lower level to higher level.

India has been focusing on economic development and we have seen the benefits of it, particularly the IT revolution which has improved the quality of life of our children. In most well educated middle class families in India now, the children earn at half the age of their parents what their parents earn at the time of their retirement! This has set off a cascading impact on all sectors-be it automobile or textile, real estate or even travel. You can find Indians and Chinese constituting the largest chunk of overseas tourists in Europe or the US. We want Pakistanis to see such an improvement in their lives, for with economic prosperity comes a broader vision.

This proves that if Hitler had lots money and business opportunities many nations would have looked the other way on his human right record.
Also the picture shows "Money talks and Umma walks"!!. Unless we mend our ways and follow Sir Syed Ahmed Khan's approach towards education i.e base it on merit and shun the mother of all evils "Quota System" we will remain marginalized.

@Ahmadi Lives Matter! - of course it matters. So unfortunate that we in Pakistan cannot have thinking process right. Regardless of our believes and affliation, we should stay in our lane and pursue what we want to achieve. I have been overseas and being a brown skin was discriminated. I know how I used to feel about myself, inferior and dejected.
We should treat everyone as citizens of Pakistan first. That way Pakistan will progress. Second no one impose or do tabligg to bring others in their court. Remember, stay in your lanes as far your believes are concerned. Hurt nobodys believes. Then we can have respect and peace and eventually.

Whether you are an Indian leader or Pakistani, before you make deals with these Arab countries, you need to bring up the fact that workers from India,Pakistan,Bangladesh working for them are treated like third class citizens, they are treated like animals, all these poor workers want is to earn for their families back home, yet it is never a priority. If you take away these workers, places like Dubai would still be a desert and nothing more.
