Mukesh Ambani to meet Donald Trump, Emir of Qatar in Doha: Sources

Mukesh Ambani, Chairman and Managing Director of Reliance Industries, is expected to meet U.S. President Donald Trump and the Emir of Qatar in Doha on Wednesday, according to sources. This is an example of Reliance’s continued efforts to engage with key global leaders, two sources familiar with the matter said.

The meeting comes as Reliance seeks to strengthen its engagement with key figures in the United States and Qatar. Over the years, Qatar’s sovereign wealth fund, the Qatar Investment Authority (QIA), has made multiple investments in Reliance businesses. Ambani, currently the wealthiest individual in Asia, also maintains significant alliances with major American tech firms, including Google and Meta.

Ambani is expected to attend a formal state dinner hosted in Trump’s honour at Lusail Palace in Doha. However, he is unlikely to hold any formal business or investment talks during the event, said the first source, who has direct insight into the arrangements.

A second source confirmed that a London-based Indian-origin business figure, known to have close ties with both the Trump and Qatari leaderships, will also be present at the gathering. Both sources declined to identify the individual.

Ambani’s detailed itinerary remains undisclosed, and Reliance Industries has yet to respond to Reuters' request for comment.

This meeting follows Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani’s visit to India in February, during which Qatar pledged to invest $10 billion across a range of Indian sectors.

After his engagements in Qatar, Trump is scheduled to head to the United Arab Emirates on Thursday, where his visit will reportedly focus on investment initiatives rather than regional security issues.
