His Highness the Amir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani arrived in Athens on Tuesday for a state visit to the Hellenic Republic. The visit marks a significant step in strengthening the friendly ties between Qatar and Greece.

Upon arrival at Athens International Airport, HH the Amir was greeted by the Hellenic Republic's Minister of Foreign Affairs George Gerapetritis, Qatar’s Ambassador to Greece Ali bin Khalfan Al Mansouri, and Greece’s Ambassador to Qatar Ioannis Ioannidis. Several senior Greek officials, Arab ambassadors in Greece, and members of the Qatari embassy also extended their welcome.
