Worried about losing diplomatic influence? During the US-Iran ceasefire window, India urgently approaches Middle Eastern countries.

"The New Indian Express" reported on the 9th that Indian Minister of Petroleum and Natural Gas, Puri, arrived in Qatar on the 9th to begin a two-day visit. Meanwhile, Indian Minister of External Affairs Jaishankar is scheduled to visit the United Arab Emirates from the 11th to the 12th. According to the report, regional tensions have disrupted trade, and Puri's visit to Qatar highlights the urgency for India to stabilize critical supply chains. Indian officials stated that as an important energy cooperation partner for India, Qatar's position is becoming increasingly significant against the backdrop of uncertainties in shipping routes. During this visit, Puri is expected to prioritize discussions with the Qatari side on the "reliability and continuity of supply," rather than just routine diplomatic engagement. Sources told "The Indian Express" that ensuring the priority of natural gas supplies to India may be the primary agenda item for discussions between Puri and Qatar.
