Qatari Emir arrives in Russia amid Iranian FM’s high-level visit

Qatar’s Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani arrived in Moscow on Thursday for talks with President Vladimir Putin on Ukraine and regional issues, Reuters reported.

His visit coincides with a separate trip by Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, who landed in Moscow the same day to deliver a message from Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and hold consultations with senior Russian officials.

The Kremlin described the Qatari leader’s trip as “very important,” with spokesman Dmitry Peskov saying the two sides would hold “serious” discussions and sign agreements.
