Qatar's Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani arrived in Russia on Thursday for an official visit for talks with President Vladimir Putin.

Al Thani's plane touched down at Moscow's Vnukovo-2 government airport, where he was welcomed by an official delegation.

Following his arrival, the Qatari delegation headed to the Kremlin, where the two leaders are expected to discuss a broad range of issues related to bilateral cooperation, with a focus on trade, economic relations, and humanitarian collaboration.

The agenda will also include several pressing international topics.

Given Qatar's involvement in facilitating humanitarian initiatives between Russia and Ukraine -- such as prisoner exchanges and the return of children -- the meeting is expected to include discussions on the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and the broader international efforts aimed at supporting a resolution.
