Qatari Emir might visit Russia next week to meet the country's leadership.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Qatari Emir Tamim bin Hamad Thani is likely to arrive in Russia next week on an official visit to meet the country's leadership, a Qatari diplomatic source told Sputnik on Wednesday.

"The visit is scheduled, it is being prepared. But we do not know the exact date. I think that during the next week, but there is no official statement about the visit yet," the source said.

In December 2015, Qatari Foreign Minister Khalid Bin Mohammed Attiyah attended Moscow to meet Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov to discuss a set of bilateral issues, as well as a wide range of international problems.
