Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan arrived in Qatar's capital Doha on Tuesday on the second leg of his three-nation Gulf tour to strengthen regional ties.
In Doha, Qatari Deputy Prime Minister and Defense Minister Khalid bin Mohamed al Attiyah and other officials welcomed Erdoğan, who is accompanied by members of his Cabinet and other top officials.
Later, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani welcomed Erdoğan with an official ceremony.
They are holding one-on-one talks followed by inter-delegation meetings.
During the talks, all aspects of the bilateral relations will be reviewed, and steps to enhance cooperation in various areas, particularly the economy, will be discussed.
Erdoğan started his three-nation Gulf tour on Monday with Saudi Arabia. His last stop will be the United Arab Emirates on Wednesday.
During his visit to the three Gulf countries, Erdoğan said he wants to boost ties and finalize investment deals.
At a news conference in Istanbul before starting his tour, Erdoğan said that Türkiye's relations with "strategic partner and close ally" Qatar are "excellent" at all levels, as the countries prepare to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties.
