Sources say that Indian billionaire Ambani will meet Trump and Qatar's emir at Doha

Mukesh ambani, the Indian billionaire, will meet with Donald Trump, President of the United States, and Qatar's emir in Doha, according to two sources. His company, Reliance Industries, is looking to strengthen ties between authorities in both countries.

Qatar's sovereign fund, QIA has invested in Reliance over the years. Ambani is Asia's wealthiest man and has many business relationships with U.S. technology giants like Google and Meta.

Ambani is attending a state dinner in Doha for Trump, but he does not intend to have any business or investment discussions. This was confirmed by the first source who has direct knowledge of this matter.

Both sources confirmed that another Indian businessman based in London, close to the Trump administration and the Qatari government, will attend. They did not identify the individual.

Ambani did not provide any further details about his agenda. Reliance didn't immediately answer'questions.

Qatar's Emir, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani, visited India in February. His country had committed to investing $10 billion in various industries.

Trump will leave Qatar for the United Arab Emirates on Thursday, a trip which is more focused on investments than on security issues in the Middle East. (Reporting Aditya Kalra, Editing Clarence Fernandez).
