Addressing the Indian neighborhood, Dhankhar recalled his interplay with the Emir, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, yesterday when he attended the inauguration of the FIFA World Cup. “When I congratulated him (the Emir) on grandiose infrastructure and grandeur of the ceremony, he expressed his gratitude to the skilled contribution of Indian human resource. He expressed satisfaction to the Indian companies for turning around development in Qatar. This is a big achievement for us,” Dhankhar mentioned.

Saying that there have been 8 lakh Indians in Qatar, Dhankhar mentioned they’d contributed to the continuing growth in India as properly. “It is our sound culture and that makes us proud that we Indians strike wholesome balance between janambhoomi (birthplace) and karambhoomi (place of work),” he mentioned.

He mentioned India was rising like by no means earlier than below the management of PM Narendra Modi. He mentioned the PM had given a clarion name in “consonance with our civilisational ethos” that conflict was not the answer to any downside.

The V-P mentioned India overtaking the UK to develop into the fifth largest economic system on the earth lately. The milestone of turning into the third largest economic system could be achieved this decade.
