Doha: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has arrived in Qatar on a day-long official visit to attend the Emergency Arab-Islamic Summit being held in Doha today.
According to Radio Pakistan, at the Doha airport, Qatar’s Minister of Culture Sheikh Abdulrahman bin Hamad bin Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani welcomed the Prime Minister and the Pakistani delegation.

In a demonstration of solidarity and regional unity, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif visited Doha last Thursday to meet with Qatari leadership. During the visit, he reaffirmed Pakistan’s unwavering support for Qatar’s security and sovereignty and its commitment to peace and stability in the Middle East.
The participation of the Prime Minister of Pakistan and other Muslim leaders in the emergency summit, being held in Doha today, highlights the resolve to strengthen unity within the Muslim Ummah and establish regional peace.
