Qatar’s Emir arrives in Cairo to meet Egypt’s President

DOHA, 26 June 2022, (TON): Qatar’s Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani arrived in Cairo on an official visit to meet Egypt’s President.

El-Sisi's office said “Abdel Fattah El-Sisi welcomed the emir at Cairo airport on his first visit in seven years.”

Local media reported “the two leaders are expected to discuss on Saturday key regional issues ahead of President Joe Biden’s anticipated trip to the Middle East next month and on ways to further improve diplomatic and economic relations.”

The emir's visit came less than two months after his government announced that it would invest $5 billion in Egypt, another lifeline to the country's economy which has been dealt a blow amid the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
