Doha, Qatar: The Indian Business and Professionals Council (IBPC) Qatar successfully hosted its flagship event, IBPC Annual Connect 2026, bringing together senior Indian and Qatari business leaders, policymakers, entrepreneurs, and professionals for high-level dialogue and strategic networking.

Held under the theme “Unlock Potential and Accelerate growth - Opportunities and Challenges,” the event reflected the strengthening diplomatic and economic ties between India and Qatar, particularly following the recent landmark visit of His Highness the Amir of the State of Qatar to India. The forum served as a platform to explore new opportunities for collaboration, investment, and sustainable economic development in Qatar.

In a special address titled 'Looking Ahead: India–Qatar Bilateral Business and Professional Relations,' H E Vipul, Ambassador of India to the State of Qatar and Patron of IBPC Qatar, congratulated IBPC on its achievements and reaffirmed India’s commitment to deepening bilateral relations between the two countries, stating,

“India and Qatar share a long-established relationship, with trade serving as a strong foundation that has led to a deep and enduring partnership. A large Indian community has made Qatar its home over several generations, drawn by the unmatched safety, security, and opportunities the country provides. Today, relations between India and Qatar span all areas of human endeavor, including political engagement, diplomacy, trade, investment, culture, people-to-people connections, and technology, areas on which we are committed to building even stronger cooperation in the years ahead.”

IBPC President Thaha Muhammed highlighted a milestone year for the organisation, noting the delivery of 111 events and the launch of several impactful initiatives.
