India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday claimed a "new era of friendship" between his country and Qatar on a two-day trip to the emirate. He was writing on Twitter after officials from gas-rich Qatar and India signed seven agreements covering areas such as investment, financial intelligence and education.
"My visit to Qatar has witnessed comprehensive and fruitful discussions that will usher in a new era of friendship between India and Qatar," Modi said.
Included was a memorandum of understanding to open up the Indian market to Qatar's sovereign wealth fund, the estimated $300 billion Qatar Investment Authority.
The memorandum said it aimed to facilitate the "participation of Qatari institutional investors in infrastructure projects in India".
The Indian community is the largest ethnic group in Qatar, numbering some 700,000 in a total population of just over 2.5 million.
Qatar is already India's largest supplier of liquefied natural gas, and bilateral trade is thought to stand at around $10 billion.
Earlier Sunday, Modi met the Qatari emir, Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani, on his visit, part of a five-nation tour that has already taken him to Afghanistan.
He will also visit Switzerland, Mexico and the United States.
