India recently defended Qatar’s sovereignty at the U.N. Human Rights Council:
Qatar, officially the State of Qatar, is a country located in Western Asia. It is located on the northeastern coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It has a total area of 11,586 sq.km. It shares a sole land border with Saudi Arabia to the south and is surrounded by the Persian Gulf on all other sides. The Gulf of Bahrain separates Qatar from the Kingdom of Bahrain. Doha is its capital and largest city.Qatar was originally settled by Bedouin nomads from the central part of the Arabian Peninsula.The Qatari economy is, to a very large extent, dependent on income derived from the exploitation of oil, natural gas and subsidiary industry, which accounts for more than 90 percent of annual exports.
