Doha, 2 September 2014

A ‘Vibrant Gujarat’ delegation led by B B Swain, Vice-Chairman and Managing Director, Gujarat Industrial Development Corporation (GIDC), will be visiting Doha from September 3 to 5 to promote the 7th Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit scheduled to be held in Gandhinagar, Gujarat, from January 11 to 13, 2015, said a press statement issued by the Indian embassy in Qatar.

The visit is coordinated by the embassy, along with GIDC and Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), which is the national partner for the Summit.

The summit, initiated by the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, as former chief minister of Gujarat 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 fertilizers, textiles, gems and jewellery and food processing.

The programme of the visiting delegation includes a roundtable business meeting at Qatar Chamber of Commerce and Industry (QCCI) 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.

The Embassy greatly appreciates the support of the Government of Qatar, Qatar Chamber of Commerce and Industry (QCCI), Doha Bank, Indian Business and Professionals Network (IBPN) and other partners in arranging substantive business interactions for the visiting business mission.
