"External Affairs Minister Dr S. Jaishankar will be on an official visit to Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait and Oman from 05-10 July 2026. During the visit to these countries, he will be meeting with his counterparts and the leadership. The visit will focus on enhancing our bilateral relations with the four countries and also provide an opportunity to exchange views on regional developments and issues of mutual interest," the MEA said.
Jaishankar will then travel to New York to launch India's official campaign on July 13 for a non-permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council for the 2028-29 term.
He will subsequently visit Brussels on July 14-15 to attend the third India-European Union Trade and Technology Council (TTC) meeting and hold talks with his European Union and Belgian counterparts.
Union Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal and Union Minister for Railways, Information and Broadcasting, Electronics and Information Technology Ashwini Vaishnaw will also travel to Brussels for the TTC meeting.
Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of the 17th Toy Biz International B2B Expo, Goyal said the meeting would complement the recently concluded India-European Union Free Trade Agreement (FTA) and facilitate its implementation.
"Our effort is that it becomes a supplement to the free trade agreement which we have finalised and will help us to smooth the edges and make it easier to implement and benefit from the FTA going forward," Goyal said.
He added that the TTC dialogue is expected to strengthen cooperation between India and the European Union in key areas, including trade, technology and resilient supply chains, while supporting the effective implementation of the FTA.
