Qatar and Turkey have enjoyed solid bilateral ties for decades. The relations between the two nations have grown even stronger in recent years, particularly since Turkey's swift support to Qatar in the early days of the Gulf crisis.

Last year, the Adviser to the Turkish President, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, said Qatar is Turkey's strongest ally, stating that the Qatari-Turkish relations are an exemplary Islamic example.

The two countries have joined hands under several agreements and memorandums of understanding (MoUs) in fields, including political, trade partnerships, economic, and investment, energy affairs, manufacturing, industry, education, media, healthcare, tourism, and projects related to the hosting of World Cup 2022.

As Qatar and Turkey seek to further cement ties in various fields, the leaders of the two nations are set to meet in Turkey today.

His Highness the Amir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani will be heading to Ankara today for an official visit, according to Qatar News Agency (QNA).

HH the Amir and the Turkish President will chair the sixth meeting of the Qatar-Turkey Supreme Strategic Committee.

The sixth session will focus on bolstering the strategic partnership between the two brotherly countries in various fields. It will also see the two sides exchange views on regional and international issues of mutual concern.
