Prime Minister Narendra Modi went to the Indira Gandhi International Airport in Delhi on Monday as a special gesture to receive the Amir of the State of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim Bin Hamad Al Thani.

The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said in a statement that the visit will provide “further momentum to our growing multifaceted partnership”.

Qatar’s Amir is accompanied by a high-level delegation, including ministers, senior officials and business leaders.

He will meet with PM Modi on Tuesday to discuss various aspects of the bilateral relationship with India. The two countries will also exchange memorandums of understanding (MoU) covering various sectors.

Al-Thani is visiting India at PM Modi’s invitation. This marks his second state visit to India, having earlier visited in March 2015.
