How did Sheikh Tamim's visit to India affect relations between the two countries?
Sheikh Tamim's visit to India marked a significant reset in bilateral relations following a period of tension. The tensions stemmed from a controversial incident last year when a Qatari court sentenced eight former Indian naval officers to death on espionage charges, though they were eventually released. This state visit represents a turning point, with both nations announcing a strategic partnership aimed at doubling trade to $28 billion over the next five years. The diplomatic reset allows both countries to move beyond past difficulties and focus on expanding cooperation in key sectors including LNG, pharmaceuticals, agritech, and fintech.
