The conversation took place after the Israeli strikes in Doha on Tuesday.
According to the Prime Minister's Office (PMO), PM appreciated the role being played by Qatar in promoting regional peace and stability, including its mediation efforts in Gaza to achieve ceasefire and release of all hostages.
"Sheikh Tamim thanked Prime Minister Modi for the expression of solidarity with the people and the State of Qatar. The two leaders also expressed satisfaction at the sustained progress in the India-Qatar Strategic Partnership and reiterated their commitment to advance bilateral cooperation in all areas of mutual interest. They agreed to remain in close touch," read a statement issued by the PMO.
On Tuesday, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) had stated that India was "deeply concerned" by the development and its impact on the security situation in the region.
"We strongly urge restraint and diplomacy, so that peace and security in the region are not endangered," the MEA stated after the Israeli strikes in Doha.
Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani had paid a State Visit to India in February, earlier this year at the invitation of Prime Minister Modi.
He was accompanied by a high-level delegation comprising ministers, officials, and business leaders. This was the second State Visit of the Emir of Qatar to India.
