Qatari Emir arrives in Türkiye to meet Erdoğan, discuss cooperation

Qatar's Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al Thani arrived in Ankara on Thursday to chair a Türkiye-Qatar High Strategic Committee meeting with President Tayyip Erdogan, after which the sides are expected to sign off on investment-related accords.

The visit, focused on investment and trade, comes after Doha said at the weekend it had told Hamas and Israel it will stall efforts to mediate a Gaza ceasefire and hostage release deal until they show willingness and seriousness.

Erdogan and al Thani will hold a bilateral meeting and then will chair the tenth meeting of the Türkiye-Qatar High Strategic Committee. They will then attend a ceremony for the signing of various agreements.
